CONFECTIONER'S SWEETS

Known as the "Romanengo Sweets”, these are made with raw and cooked almond paste, and include canestrelli, truffles, meringues, almond paste mini-eggs, and almond and pistachio pastries and nougats, offering a variety of flavours dedicated to the city of Genoa and its traditions.

CONFECTIONER'S SWEETS BOTTEGA

The confectioner's pastries are based on the creativity of our craftsmen, who use candied fruit, fondants and preserves from our other shops to make incomparably flavoured delights.

In this shop, each stage in the processing takes place solely by hand, and it's the expert touch of the confectioner which ensures that the finished products are extremely good to look at too.

The few machines in the workshop are used only to prepare the mixtures, in line with the old traditions, and include a granite cylinder refiner from the 19th century, nougat maker from the Forties and a cream mixer.

HANDMADE ALMOND PASTE

This workshop, of Arab origins, specialises in the production of almond paste, which we obtain from oil-rich almonds harvested in Puglia, which are ground and formed into a paste with sugar. This paste may be used raw, in the canestrelli, for example, or cooked with sugar and natural flavourings, as in our mostaccioli and marzipans.

Even though it contains no additives or preservatives, which means that almond paste has a limited lifetime, we prefer to follow the traditional recipes to maintain the freshness and authentic flavour of our creations.
