What the mini baba is
The baba is a leavened-dough dessert with a soft, spongy structure, soaked in a syrup of water, sugar and rum that defines its characteristic flavour. The baba dough is originally neutral and gains its typical sweet taste only through soaking in the alcoholic bath. The 35 g mini format is its single-portion version, ideal for individual service, buffet and small pastry.
Neapolitan origin
The baba is a great classic of the Neapolitan confectionery tradition, a local variant of a dessert with probable Polish origins. In Naples it ranks among the most famous desserts to close wedding meals and important events, alongside the torta caprese and the delizia al limone.
The producer San Giorgio
This mini baba is produced by San Giorgio SpA, specialised in frozen pastry for food service. Freezing preserves the dessert's organoleptic qualities from production to service, ensuring consistency of format, syrup dosing and softness in every piece of the case.
