History: Often offered as a refreshing treat to tired travelers stopping at coaching inns, this pastry owes its name to the Italian word cavaliere (“knight”).

As inns and post stations adopted the custom, the pastry’s popularity grew, evolving from a simple travel snack to an enduring symbol of warmth and energy.
