Savoiardi Vicenzovo by Matilde Vicenzi are the most widely used ladyfingers in the world for tiramisu: light, fragrant and porous enough to absorb coffee and syrups without collapsing. This catering case holds 12 resealable 200 g bags (2.4 kg net), the practical wholesale format for restaurants, pastry shops and hotels.
What Vicenzovo ladyfingers are
The savoiardo is a traditional Italian sponge biscuit made from whipped eggs, flour and sugar, piped into elongated fingers and dusted twice with sugar before baking to obtain a crisp golden crust and a soft, airy crumb. Vicenzovo is the line that made this biscuit famous worldwide and the benchmark choice of Italian pastry chefs.
Origin and producer
Matilde Vicenzi opened her pastry shop in 1905 in San Giovanni Lupatoto, near Verona, in the Veneto region. From a small artisan production of pastries and ladyfingers, the company grew into an industrial pastry house that introduced the Vicenzovo ladyfinger, which became the most widespread savoiardo in the world while keeping its traditional recipe.
Sensory profile
Each finger is dry and crisp on the outside, light and airy inside. The double sugar dusting gives a delicate sweetness and the characteristic crackled surface. Made with 26% fresh eggs and no added fats, the crumb soaks liquids quickly yet holds its shape, which is exactly what professional desserts require.
