Originally from a place called Piedmont located in Northern Italy, early versions used boiled fish bones in place of gelatine, it was consumed plain, with hazelnuts or with fruits then it evolved into what is now the popular gelatine dessert.

Thanks to the person who invented commercial gelatine otherwise I am not sure whether I will enjoy this treat, I am just unsure about a dessert where it is made out of home boiled fish bone collagen and cream. Well if you come to think of it gelatine comes from bones of animals anyways.
