MORE DETAILS:
If the name Perbellini is linked to excellence in the world of leavened products, the merit is of the Offella d'Oro ®, the family masterpiece. It is a leavened dough rich in eggs and butter completed by a grain of almonds on the surface.
This product is in fact placed in a truncated cone mold on the base of which there are almonds, which during cooking release aromas and fragrances that make the paste of this dessert inimitable.
Being a dough rich in butter, its preparation requires more than 48 hours of leavening and is based on simple and natural ingredients. The dough is in fact created by adding yolk, butter, flour and sugar to the sourdough several times and after a first leavening it is portioned into individual pieces by our collaborators, "shaped" by hand and placed in the molds in which the chopped almonds.
Once cooked, the product rests before being packaged by hand by our collaborators with the traditional white and red packaging and tied with a vine branch.
For us the Offella d’Oro ® is synonymous with Christmas.
