Almond paste is one of Italy's most famous confectionery specialties, mainly prepared in Apulia, Salentino, Sicily, and Sardinia. The origins are rooted long in the past and can be traced back to the end of 1100 in the vicinity of Palermo. These almond pastries made by Dolceria Antica Bronte contain the best Sicilian almonds combined with sugar and honey and, in this particularly crunchy version, the unmistakable flavor of Bronte pistachios and essential oil of vanilla. A traditional sweet for all occasions and especially on special occasions.

Company History:

Nino Marino and Vincenzo Longhitano are the founders of Antichi Sapori dell'Etna, an historic company in Bronte, famous for the exquisite Bronte pistachio nuts of internationally recognized flavor. The Antica Bronte Dolceria brand was created, in particular, to promote the most exquisite specialties, first and foremost the typical almond pastries and pistachio based confections. The company is effectively a development from the small bakery set up 13 years ago thanks to the creativity and resolve of the founding partners, then in their twenties, who developed their passion through the years for confectionery art, creation of fine products and painstaking attention to the quality of ingredients, which have remained as originally specified in the recipes.
