Rame di Napoli, a must on Sicilian tables for the Day of the Dead

Once again this year, for the Day of the Dead, your table won't be complete without our rame di Napoli, the traditional Sicilian cocoa biscuits covered in an indulgent dark chocolate glaze. Soft and fragrant thanks to spices such as cinnamon and cloves, they are a typical Catanese sweet available only between October and early November. A short but eagerly awaited season that makes them all the more special!

According to an ancient tradition, rame di Napoli are made during the All Saints' holidays and given to children – together with toys – as a gift from their departed relatives, a sweet reward for being good during the year. They are so tempting that no one can resist: just catching their enveloping scent of spices and chocolate, and savouring them even just with your eyes, is enough to feel the festive spirit!

With pistachio, for the most refined palates: the soft cocoa biscuit is topped with a pistachio cream – made using only carefully selected, high-quality Sicilian pistachios – and then finished with a pistachio chocolate glaze. A shower of pistachios completes the biscuit and makes it even more irresistible.

Classic, for lovers of tradition: the soft biscuit, made strictly with cocoa, is covered with a dark chocolate glaze. The classic version is a tribute to tradition, to good homemade things, to simple and therefore more authentic flavours. It has the scent of spices and of our most intimate memories.

With Nutella, for the sweetest tooth: the soft cocoa biscuit is topped with a luscious layer of hazelnut cream and then finished with a dark chocolate glaze and chopped pistachios. A triumph of indulgence!
