Sicilian Filled Cassata Frozen 120 g x 12 pcs – Eurofood Ice

Sicilian Filled Cassata: the sweet symbol of Sicilian tradition

The Sicilian Filled Cassata Frozen by Eurofood Ice brings to the tables of Swiss food-service professionals one of the most iconic desserts of Italian pastry. Born in the monasteries of Sicily and perfected over the centuries, the cassata is today an emblem of Mediterranean confectionery culture: a refined balance between the whiteness of ricotta, the sweetness of almond paste and the burst of colour from candied fruit. Each single 120-gram portion encapsulates this artisanal heritage in a practical format, designed for restaurants, pastry shops, bars, hotels and caterers who want to offer an authentic dessert without compromising on quality.

This is a frozen pastry dessert (not an ice cream): freezing preserves the softness of the sponge cake, the freshness of the ricotta cream and the integrity of the decorations, guaranteeing a product that is always ready to use with consistent results throughout the year.

The filling: ricotta, almonds and candied fruit

The heart of the cassata is its generous filling, which tells the flavour of Sicily in every bite. Our Filled Cassata combines selected ingredients to deliver a rich and balanced taste profile.

• Ricotta cream: soft and velvety, sweetened in moderation, it is the creamy soul of the dessert.
• Almond paste (pasta reale): wraps the dessert with its delicate, slightly bitter-almond note, the unmistakable signature of tradition.
• Sponge cake: soft and soaked, it builds the structure of the dessert.
• Candied fruit: adds colour, aroma and a pleasant texture, completing the sensory experience.

The 120 g x 12 pcs format: practicality for food service

The carton contains 12 single-portion cassatas of 120 g each, for a total of about 1.44 kg of product. This format was designed for the needs of professional catering: individual portioning eliminates waste, allows serving only the quantities needed and keeps the rest of the carton perfectly preserved in the freezer. Ideal for managing variable volumes, from the small bistro to large-scale catering.

• Packaging: 12 pieces of 120 g per carton
• Total net weight: about 1.44 kg
• Origin: Italy
• Storage: frozen at -18 °C

Service and presentation suggestions

The Filled Cassata lends itself to multiple uses on the menu. Left to thaw in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours, it is ready to be served as an elegant end-of-meal dessert, accompanied by an espresso coffee or a sweet Sicilian wine. It can be offered as a single plated portion, dusted with icing sugar, or included in a buffet of traditional Italian desserts. Perfect also for the afternoon break, paired with tea or an infusion.

• Plated dessert for restaurants and trattorias
• Display case of pastry shops, bars and cafés
• Buffet, banqueting and catering events
• Service in hotels and hospitality venues

Storage and cold chain

To ensure quality and safety, the product must be kept constantly at -18 °C throughout the entire cold chain. Once thawed, the product must not be refrozen and should be consumed within 24 hours if stored in the refrigerator. Single-portion management makes it easier to comply with these rules, thawing only what is needed.
