Authentic pastry shell for the iconic Sicilian dessert!

The cannolo (plural cannoli) is one of Sicily’s most beloved and recognizable desserts - a crisp, golden pastry shell traditionally filled with a sweet, creamy ricotta-based mixture. Its origins date back to the island’s Arab period, and over the centuries it has become a symbol of Sicilian pastry-making, especially during Carnival season.

Our cannolo shells are made in Sicily using time-honored methods that ensure the perfect texture: light, bubbly, and crunchy, with just the right amount of resistance when you bite into them. At 17 cm long, this is the classic large version - ideal for generous fillings and a true dessert centerpiece.

The beauty of the cannolo lies in its contrast of textures and flavors: the delicate crispness of the shell paired with the creamy, often sweet and lightly spiced filling.

In Sicily, traditional fillings include fresh sheep’s milk ricotta mixed with sugar, often studded with chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, or candied orange peel.

These shells are sold empty - ready for you to fill at home with your own creations.
