Artisan Cialde di Montecatini - Tuscan Patisserie

Cialde di Montecatini are a golden disc full of flavor and the scent of vanilla, the sweet par excellence of Montecatini Terme, a spa town in the heart of Valdinievole.

Tuscany certainly doesn't hold back when it comes to typical products, and Cialde are a precious piece of this "multi-flavored" culinary mosaic.

The recipe has an ancient history and comes from afar, but the ingredients have not changed over time, the same ones that are used to make a good homemade cake.

Flour, milk and eggs give life to the sheets, very thin and fragrant, finely stamped with one of the symbols of the beautiful Tuscan spa town. In the center a grain of sugar, almonds and vanilla. Two hot plates assemble the sheets and their precious filling in a sweet embrace.

Cialde di Montecatini, according to the classic recipe, are a very special cookie, good for every hour of the day: from a refined dessert to a genuine snack, thanks to the almonds and their properties. They are the ideal accompaniment to tea and coffee. They go wonderfully with chocolate. But you cannot do without eating them with ice cream. An obligation to combine them with a fresh whipped cream.

For small cravings, the sweets signed by Desideri become Le Cialde di Montecatini 6.0, 6 cm in diameter with the same taste, even more delicious if dipped in pure dark chocolate.

All you have to do is try them or let yourself be tempted once again.
