Artisan Desserts and Sweets

The dessert is a sweet course typically served at the end of a meal. Etymologically, the term comes from the French verb desservir, and in the third-person singular present tense, it becomes "le dessert," which literally refers to the person who clears the table. The tradition of eating fresh or dried fruit at the end of a meal is very old, but dessert only became an integral part of the meal, at least in the West, in relatively recent times.

Before the 19th century, desserts were a privilege reserved for aristocratic or upper-middle-class families, as sugar was a scarce and, above all, very expensive raw material. Italy, even in this field, has been able to produce truly extraordinary desserts, with diverse shapes, textures, and flavors. There are indeed many artisanal desserts linked to the countless stories and traditions deeply rooted in each region, city, or village of our beloved Italy.

ONLY THE BEST ARTISANAL DESSERTS

All the artisanal desserts in our selection are truly unique! Starting with the most famous, known throughout Italy and even abroad, such as Pandoro, Panettone, and Colomba, baked goods traditionally consumed during specific holidays like Christmas and Easter. An Easter dessert that perhaps not everyone knows is the Pigna molisana, typical of Molise. There are also many artisanal dry pastries that follow Italy’s sweet traditions from North to South: from the Piedmontese Baci di Dama, to the Mantuan Sbrisolona, to the Parmesan Spongata, Tuscan Cantucci, and Molise’s Mostaccioli, among many others.

There are also products absolutely worth trying that carry a truly intriguing story, such as the Cuore di Cercepiccola or the more traditional tarts; then, there are timeless cakes like the famous Sacher.
