In 2012 Carlo Dall'Ava, already a producer of excellent prosciutto in San Daniele del Friuli, decided to invest in the art of bakers' confections. Success was not long in coming. The decision was inspired by a meeting with Sergio Pontoni, one of Italy's best pastry chefs, and a desire to avoid what appeared to be the inevitable closure of a historic bakery. A commitment to using the best ingredients and a desire to make the Natisone Valleys's products known to the world did the rest. You'll find shortbread and gubane, but also Italian holiday classics made with sourdough starter and gastronomic delights from all over Italy, from Noto almonds to candied fruit from Calabria and Sicily.
