Coda d'Aragosta Mini: the excellence of Neapolitan pastry in single-portion format
The Coda d'Aragosta is one of the most iconic sweets of the Neapolitan pastry tradition. Despite what its name might suggest, it is not a shellfish: it is a refined puff pastry sweet with the characteristic elongated, curled shape that recalls a lobster's tail. This mini version offers single portions of 25-30 grams each, perfect for service in pastry shops, cafés, hotels and catering.
Made with thin, crispy puff pastry rolled into multiple layers, the Coda d'Aragosta develops during baking a golden, fragrant texture, creating the unmistakable contrast between the crispy outer layers and the soft heart of the pastry. Now available raw and frozen to guarantee freshness, consistent quality and zero waste for the Swiss food service.
What the Coda d'Aragosta really is
The Coda d'Aragosta was born as an evolution of the famous Neapolitan sfogliatella. The puff pastry is stretched into very thin sheets, rolled and shaped into the typical elongated fan form. During oven baking the pastry rises and separates into crispy layers, while the inside stays soft and can be filled as desired after baking.
