Mola salsa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mola salsa was a cereal cake used by ancient Rome's Vestal Virgins in sacrifices and was a common offering to the household hearth. These cereal cakes were a mixture of coarse-ground, cooked flour and salt.

The College of Vestal Virgins would make mola salsa during Vestalia, the chief festival of Vesta which was celebrated June 7 until June 15.

It was used to consecrate animals before they were sacrificed to the gods.^{[citation needed]}
