据说在1565年,西班牙国王菲利浦二世让人将一包马铃薯块茎带到罗马,作为送给教皇庇护四世的礼物,教皇则将这些样品转赠给了比利时的一名红衣主教。块茎的意大利名称 tartufoli(“小松露”)也随着样品遍布欧洲的繁殖传播被其他不同语种采用,如德语(kartoffel)、罗马尼亚语(cartof)、俄语(kartófil)、甚至冰岛语(kartafla)。
尽管马铃薯(在现代意大利语中被称为patata)是农村家庭数代人的主粮,自20世纪60年代农民在38万公顷土地上生产出400万吨马铃薯之后,马铃薯的种植一直在下降。虽然每公顷产量从10吨增加至大约25吨,但是大量不适宜马铃薯种植的土地被遗弃了。
热爱面食的意大利是欧洲马铃薯消费量最低的国家之一,每年人均消费不足40公斤。即便如此,在2005年要满足国内需求依然需要进口超过100万吨的原料和加工的马铃薯。(来源:国际马铃薯年)
