Sicilian almond pastries are world-renowned for their softness and inimitable taste.
We decided to package them in a beautiful gift box with typical Sicilian majolica pattern.
Sicily's almond pastries are the hallmark of the island’s oldest traditions and a true pride of Sicilian pastry-making. The main ingredient, almond paste—once known as "royal paste"—was so delicious it was deemed fit for kings.
These beloved treats are soft and moist inside, with a delicate crunch on the outside. The classic recipe combines just a few ingredients: almonds, honey, sugar and egg whites
They’re often adorned with powdered sugar, while toppings like candied cherries, jam, almonds, or candied orange peels add a finishing touch. For extra flavor, bakers sometimes mix in orange or lemon zest or sprinkle crushed pistachios.
Thanks to Sicily’s abundance of citrus fruits, figs, pumpkins, pistachios, and almonds - over half of Italy’s almond production comes from here - the island's bakers perfected this delicious recipe, producing these delightful pastries in abundance.
These pastries by Antica Bottega Siciliana are packaged in single-dose packs and contains 3-3 pieces of the following variants: chopped pistachio, candied cherry and plain almonds with sugar.
The box contains 9 pastries topped with candied cherries / almonds / crumbled pistachio.
