Dolci Pensieri di Calabria | Sweets since 1998
The pastry shop Dolci Pensieri di Calabria has its roots in the deep south of Italy, at the very tip of the boot in Calabria. Actually, everything culinary that comes from Calabria is hot, hotter, hottest; everything seems to be spiced with peperoncino. But the traditional products of Dolci Pensieri di Calabria have been sweetening the lives of their fans since 1998.
Dolci Pensieri di Calabria | Figs from Cosenza
Fichi al Cioccolato, dried, aromatic, chocolate-covered figs from Cosenza—with this southern Italian specialty, the two brothers from Rende preserve the confectionery tradition of their homeland. The special Cosentino fig, which finds favorable climatic conditions here, is particularly fleshy and sweet and is known worldwide as the best fig variety.
The ripe Cosentino figs are first baked in the oven, plain or filled with an almond or candied orange peel, and then dipped in chocolate. The fig and its true aroma always remain the protagonists of this confectionery tradition from Calabria, which is waiting to be rediscovered.
