The Offella d'oro is the progenitor of leavened cakes in Verona; its recipe is dated 1 October 1891. During this period, Giovanni Battista Perbellini modified the recipe for a traditional Veronese cake called 'Nadalin', enriching the dough with butter and eggs, thus making it much softer. Production, which remained faithful to the old recipes and simpler working methods, began in October and continued throughout the following spring and was limited to demand.
