Cassata Fiorenza

Cassata Fiorenza

Biscotti are from Prato, Panforte is from Siena, Brigidini are from Lucca... but what's really Florentine???
Turists who travel to Florence usually do not know it, but the answer is Cassata Fiorenza!
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!

Summer chocolate

Sabadì Modican Chocolate

Who said summer means no chocolate??!? It must have been someone who didn't know Modican chocolate! 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 Sabadì,  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.
