Stinchetts are thin bread made with flour and water, seasoned with butter and salt. They are typical of the traditional poor cuisine of Ossola and in particular of the Vighezzo Valley. They are based on the characteristic ingredients of these lands such as grano duro wheat and soft wheat and are very easy to prepare. These qualities have made the stinchett a street food dish typical of the festivals and events of the Val d'Ossola.
It seems that the word "stinchett" derives from the German "Steinkuchen", i.e. a sweet cooked on stone, in fact, traditionally they are served on a special plate called "testo".
