Salame di Cioccolato
A classic Italian cake with a pastry cream filling, Torta della Nonna does justice to any nonna’s legacy.
Originating from the city of Mantova in Lombardy, this crunchy, nutty tart is a favorite in the north of Italy.
Golden fried cubes of creamy custard, cream fritta is sinfully sweet and perfect for chilly winter evenings.
A traditional apple cake, known in the west as apple pie, this Italian version is aromatic and has a softer consistency.
Pieces of almonds and broken cookies moulded into a cylinder shape, salame di cioccolato is as unique as it is moreish.
