The Florentine Zuccotto is a historical delicacy that has its roots in the time of the Medici family, captivating the palates of generations with its rich tradition and unique flavour.
The traditional dome-shaped mould gives the cake its unmistakable semispherical silhouette.
This culinary masterpiece consists of a shell of soft sponge cake, delicately soaked in liqueur or coffee, which encloses irresistible sweet creams inside.
Today, Zuccotto has reinvented itself with variations that maintain its characteristic shape
but introduce innovative flavours and ingredients. You can enjoy it with ladyfingers, biscuits or even leftover panettone instead of the traditional sponge cake. Fillings range from rich chocolate cream to delicious mascarpone and even ice cream for a refreshing and sophisticated experience.
Rediscover the charm of a dessert that combines history and modernity, providing a timeless taste experience. Try Zuccotto Fiorentino in all its delicious variants and be won over by its elegance and goodness!
