Description
Sbrisolona is one of the most iconic cake of Mantova’s tradition.
Its name comes from the way it is eaten: it is broken by hand, creating many irresistible little crumbs. Made with 100% Italian stone-ground wheat flours and enriched with light and dark almonds, it is a rustic, crumbly, and wonderfully fragrant cake.
Perfect for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or as a dessert, it pairs beautifully with sweet wines, grappa, or brandy, and can be served with gelato or classic custards for an extra indulgent touch.
