Chestnut season
With autumn, our workshop fills with the scent of chestnuts. Our three castagnacci are wrapped in our own shortcrust pastry.
- Classic Cocoa Castagnaccio: the star of the season. It arrives in September as a preview and is always available from October to 31 December. Intense and smooth, made with Belgian Barry Callebaut cocoa.
- White Castagnaccio: delicate and refined, it brings out the pure flavour of the chestnut.
- Three Layers: the most indulgent. A layer of gianduia cream, one of buffalo ricotta and mascarpone cream, and one of white castagnaccio.
- Flourless Chestnut Cake: a few carefully chosen ingredients: chestnuts, butter, sugar and eggs. No flour, just the full, velvety flavour of chestnut, decorated with marrons glacés.

Her Majesty the Pastiera
The queen of Campania's tradition. We make it at Easter time and it is among the sweets our customers await most. At Christmas too, to order.

From our countryside to the jar: zero-mile fruit, picked from the trees our father planted and made to our mother's recipe.
- Chestnut
- Plum
- Pear
- Fig
