What did everyday people actually eat in Ancient Rome?
In this episode of EatStory, we recreate Moretum; a simple cheese and herb paste eaten by Roman farmers around 80 BC.

This recipe comes from a short Latin poem called Moretum, traditionally attributed to Virgil. Unlike banquet scenes and elite feasts, this text shows something rare: an ordinary morning, an ordinary meal and the routine of preparing food before a long day of work.

Using historical sources, simple ingredients, and period-appropriate methods, we explore how this dish was made, why it mattered and what it tells us about daily life in the late Roman Republic.

No myths. No modern shortcuts.
Just food, as it actually was.
