Biscotti are from Prato, Panforte is from Siena, Brigidini are from Lucca... but what's really Florentine???<br />
Turists who travel to Florence usually do not know it, but the answer is <b>Cassata Fiorenza</b>!<br />
Cassata Fiorenza is a delicious crispy wafer, covered in dark chocolate and filled with a rich hazelnut cream, that is been prepared today with the same recipe of more than a thousand years ago. If you haven't tried Cassata Fiorenza, you haven't been to Florence!Gaiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354752982894526943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695045660978039487.post-37920634742401114112013-07-18T02:57:00.001-07:002013-07-18T03:01:34.933-07:00Old-fashioned sweetness<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Who said summer means no chocolate??!? It must have been someone who didn't know<b> Modican chocolate</b>! Made in Sicily, in the lovely town of Modica, Modican chocolate is prepared since 1600 following an ancient Aztec recipe. This traditional chocolate can be eaten in the summer without melting in your hands like ordinary chocolate, thanks to the unique cold working process. My favourite Modican chocolate is the one produced by <b>Sabadì</b>, a young brand which chose excellent National Fino de Aroma cocoa and selected raw materials (such as Interdonato lemon, Ciaculli late mandarin, Sicilian red orange, handcrafted Trapani fleur de sel, Sarawak white pepper, mascobado sugar) that come from fair trade producers and Slow Food Presidia with respect for small producers, the environment and biodiversity.</div>

Nothing compares to <strong>Amedei chocolate</strong>. Made in Tuscany, just a few kilometers from Florence, this Italian award-winning chocolate is a treat you will never forget. Made with the best cocoa varieties, such as Trinitario and Criollo, these chocolates evoke the unique nuances of masterfully blended beans in an encounter with classic chocolate featuring a crisp cracking sound and a clean palate. The first bite offers a surprise as a powerful structure flavor makes its entrance after a delicate first impression. </div>

PS: Amedei chocolate will be available at Dolce Emporio all summer long!</div>

For those of you who don't know him, just let me say, Luca Montersino is a terrific pastry chef (and one of my favourite) who lately opened several shops worldwide. A few years ago, he created a line of food - called <strong>Golosi di Salute</strong>, which means Greedies for Health - made with natural and healthy ingredients, often milk-free and gluten-free.<br />
<br />

What I love about his sweets is the fact that they contain just a little sugar and taste like a dream! Ingredient lists on package foods often reveal bad surprises, but in this case it is a totally different story: here, ingredients are perfectly readable, printed on the front of the package, because there is nothing to hide!<br />

I like cantuccini, but the ones above - packed in the traditional blue
bag since 1858 - shouldn't be confused with them: these are <b>Biscotti di Prato</b>!
Made with sugar, flour, fresh eggs, pine nuts and almonds (no butter!),
biscotti di Prato are a typical Tuscan dessert, and they are baked
daily, following the old recipe of Antonio Mattei. They are excellent
both on their own and dipped in some Vinsanto, a lovely Tuscan sweet
wine.Gaiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354752982894526943noreply@blogger.com0
