This delicacy is available in different variations: from the classic white version, to the chocolate-covered one, to the enveloping taste of coffee, almond and the irresistible sour cherry variant.

Taste and History in Artisanal Nougat

The ancient pastry shops, followers of the artisan techniques of the Neapolitan school of the Bourbon period, are the beating heart of this confectionery tradition. Here, through the use of traditional methods and the use of natural ingredients, the finest desserts of the land of Ciociaria are born.

During the Christmas season, pastry shops are transformed into magical workshops , preparing a variety of sweets from ancient recipes. Panettone, pandori, mostaccioli, rococo, susamelli and royal pastries are just some of the delicacies that give off a delicious scent of vanilla and alchermes.

Not only intended for local palates, but also for those of distant emigrants, thousands of packages are packaged and shipped all over the world during the Christmas period. A gesture that keeps traditions alive and brings the hearts of families closer together, despite the geographical distance.

The old pastry shops are not only the place of production of these delicacies, but also places of knowledge. Here, enthusiasts and the curious can immerse themselves in the preparation processes of ancient recipes, savoring the excellent products that vary according to the seasons.

The production process, strongly linked to local artisan traditions, is jealously guarded by families and small companies, a guarantee of authenticity and quality.
