Benevento Soaking Syrup 30% for pastry: the aroma of Strega liqueur for your fillings

Benevento Soaking Syrup 30% is an alcoholic pastry preparation designed to soak and flavour classic desserts such as babà, sponge cake, savarin and layered cakes. With 30% vol and the unmistakable aroma of the famous liqueur of Benevento (Strega, made from dozens of herbs and spices), this syrup brings the warm, spiced and slightly vanilla flavour of the Campanian tradition into the kitchen. It is the right product for those seeking a ready-to-use, consistent and reliable soaking syrup, to be dosed and diluted according to the recipe.

What is an alcoholic soaking syrup

In pastry, the soaking syrup is a flavoured syrup used to moisten soft bases (sponge cake, ladyfingers, babà) to make them moist, fragrant and tastier. The alcoholic syrup combines a sugar syrup with an alcoholic and aromatic component: the alcohol carries the aromas, enhances the spiced notes and helps preserve the dessert. Benevento Syrup 30% concentrates in a single preparation the herbal-spiced aroma typical of the Benevento liqueur, sparing the lab from mixing sugar, water and liqueur every time.

Uses in pastry

• Babà: dip the baked babà into the lukewarm syrup until they swell and become moist and glossy at the core.
• Sponge cake: brush or drizzle the discs before filling them with cream, whipped cream or pastry cream.
• Mille-feuille and layered cakes: lightly soak the pastry sheets or sponge to bind the flavours without making them soggy.
• Savarin and soaking rings: same principle as babà, for spongy baked goods.
• Finishing: a few drops on fruit salads, semifreddo or spoon desserts to add aroma.

Dosage

Dosage depends on the dessert and the desired intensity. For sponge cake and layered cakes it is advisable to dilute the syrup with neutral syrup or sugar water to reach the target alcohol content, then soak the base evenly without drenching it. For babà, which require a stronger soak, use the syrup more concentrated and lukewarm to aid absorption. Always proceed gradually and taste: it is easier to add syrup than to remove it.

Storage

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Thanks to the alcoholic and sugary component the product keeps for a long time; once opened, always reclose the cap after use. Follow the date and the indications on the label.
