PANFORTE DI SIENA FIG & WALNUT, Marabisi
The traditional dessert of Siena, Tuscany. Panforte is a dried fruitcake style sweet bread made from natural, healthy ingredients such as dried fruit, honey, nuts & spices. It was historically named panpepato, but later the local clergy changed the name to Panforte due to its powerful flavor. Many variations of the original recipe have been established, although debates continue as to which type is the best! This Fig and walnut variation is a favorite!.We recommend pairing it with coffee in the morning or of course just enjoying Panforte on its own.
NOCCIOLATO,
William Di Carlo
Located in L’Aquila, in the Abruzzo region of Italy, William Di Carlo was founded in 1835. They invented the original Torrone of L'Aquila which you will sample.
This is the chocolate Nocciolato enriched with fine Gianduja and crunchy hazelnuts.
The Nocciolato Gianduja torrone cannot be missing during the holidays, as a delicious end of meal and delicious dessert to munch at any time.
BACI CHOCOLATES, Perugina
Perugina was established in 1907 in the center of Perugia by enterprising young women named Luisa Spagnoli. By 1922, Perugina had become a national icon with the launch of the chocolate that would make the chocolate house an international treasure. Ironically the original name of the product was “cazzotto”, which means a “punch”, because the shape vaguely resembled a clenched fist. This new roughly rounded chocolate featured granules in the chocolate capped with an entire hazelnut, covered by dark chocolate. During this period, a series of events would change history. A love affair began between Spagnoli and Perugina’s managing director Giovanni Buitoni. Spagnoli would send him “love notes” wrapped around chocolate. This led to the idea of rebranding the “Cazzotto” as “Bacio” and including a “love note” in each one. Buitoni & Spagnoli remained in love until her death in 1935. The Bacio chocolate they created together remains an international icon of romance through chocolate.
FERRATELLE, Dolce Aveja
The L’Aquila style pizzele waffle is thicker then your traditional pizzele.Crisp, crumbly & rich flavor sensations. The name ferretelle comes from the Italian word “iron” because they are made on a custom waffle iron. Under the name on the bag it says “le friabili Aquilane which translates as the crisp and crumbly ones from L’Aquila” Made in L'Aquila, Abruzzo exclusively for Gran Caffe L'Aquila.
