Founded way back in 1888, Scarpato are proud of their panettoni Christmas cakes, colombe Easter cakes, and baked sweets, all leavened naturally over three days so as to guarantee a light, easy to digest treat. In addition to the classics, there are unique varieties like ricotta and citrus fruit, 'cioccococco', cherry and Chantilly cream, strawberries and Champagne, coffee with anise, pineapple, pistachio, pumpkin and amaretto, marron glacé, citrus fruit, whole wheat with honey, and even varieties for vegans, diabetics and those with lactose intolerance. But these shouldn't overshadow the rest of their product line, which includes decadent biscotti like baci di dama (with hazelnut or zabaione), brownies, soft amaretti cookies, their soft schiacciata, megamuffins, sweet truffles (with amaretto, pistachio or chocolate), chocolates, variety of nougat, babà (with rum or lemon) and the sbrisolona. We should also mention their lovely gift packaging, which makes it all that much better.
