Pasticceria De Bortoli

Gian Pietro De Bortoli is the owner of this pastry shop in Villafranca di Verona where exquisite sweets have been created since the early 1980s. De Bortoli has become a point of reference in the large Veronese center for the production of the Sfogliatina di Villafranca. A Municipal Designation that has a very significant history. Poets and writers, from Renato Simoni to Berto Barbarani, from Trilussa to Gabriele D'Annunzio, from Antonio Fogazzaro to Cesare Marchi, captivated by their exquisite taste, have wanted to mention them in their writings; they are the Sfogliatine di Villafranca (Verona – Italy), a typical sweet born in 1841. Today, Gian Pietro's pastry shop is a forge of new creations of the highest quality and among all of them, it’s worth mentioning his leavened products such as pandori, panettoni, and colomba pasquale. A refined school that carries on the ancient Veronese tradition of Christmas leavened goods thanks to the use of selected raw materials and a secret that, for those who focus on quality, is not that secret anymore: time. The patience of waiting. Here, the leavened products have all the time they need to form until they reach the desired size for the best possible baking.
