Elenka and the Sicilian Tuppo Tradition
Elenka, founded in the 1960s in Palermo, is among the major Italian producers of semi-finished products for gelaterias, pastry shops and bars. Farcitella Nocciola is the benchmark for Sicilian brioche col tuppo (the classic Palermo breakfast with granita, brioche and a creamy filling inside), for modern croissanterie and for industrial and artisanal krapfen. The Italian hazelnut used comes mainly from Piedmont and Campania.
