Description
Neapolitan Sweet Casatiello
Neapolitan Sweet Casatiello with criscito is an authentic delicacy from the Easter tradition of Naples. Originally from Monte di Procida, a town in the Phlegraean Fields, this dessert evokes rural roots and culinary artistry passed down through generations.
Its history runs deep, back to the days when grandmothers lovingly prepared this sweet treat, handing down secrets and cooking traditions from mother to daughter. Though less famous than its savory counterpart, Sweet Casatiello remains a delight to enjoy on any occasion—especially for breakfast.
Its texture is truly unique: a dense, compact crumb enriched with criscito, which adds a slightly crunchy and irresistible touch. As the days go by, its flavor becomes even more intense and inviting. Topped with a sugar glaze that makes it even more indulgent, Sweet Casatiello is a real treat for the taste buds.
You can enjoy it in many ways: dipped in milk for a hearty breakfast or simply on its own as a sweet break during the day.
