Italian Mixed Fry, Ready to Cook
Fritto Misto Mignon by San Giorgio is a frozen assortment of eight Italian fried specialties in mignon format (20/25 g each), supplied in a 6 kg carton of 8 vacuum-sealed bags of 750 g. The snacks are raw and frozen: they are fried straight from frozen in plenty of oil at 180 °C until the breading is golden, giving a crisp shell and a soft, flavourful filling. Shelf life is 540 days at -18 °C, making it a flexible stock item for any professional kitchen.
The Eight Specialties
The mix brings together the great classics of Italian street food and home cooking, each with its own filling: potato croquette (crocchè) and potato cherry filled with mozzarella; rice arancino with ragù, peas and mozzarella; rice supplì with ragù; Sicilian rice arancino; Ascoli-style olive stuffed with meat and vegetables; pasta timballo with cooked ham, porcini mushrooms and peas; and breaded mini-mozzarella. A single carton covers an entire fried-appetiser offer with no preparation work.
The Story Behind These Classics
These fried bites belong to the deep-rooted tradition of Italian friggitoria. The arancino is the symbol of Sicilian street food, born around the dome shape of Mount Etna; the supplì is its Roman cousin, named after the French word surprise for the string of mozzarella that stretches at the first bite; the olive all'ascolana comes from Ascoli Piceno in the Marche region, where green olives are pitted, stuffed with a meat filling, breaded and fried. San Giorgio reinterprets them all in a calibrated mignon size, perfect for finger food and shared platters.
The Producer: San Giorgio S.p.A.
San Giorgio S.p.A. is based in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno (Campania). Founded in the early 1980s by Sabato Bruno, it grew from a small pastry workshop into a company specialized in frozen croissanterie and Campanian specialties for the food service market. Today it runs a plant certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, with an HACCP self-control system and traceability under EC Reg. 178/2002. The fried range reflects this industrial know-how combined with regional recipes.
Professional Uses
1) Aperitif and apéro platters: fry 4-6 pieces per guest and serve hot in paper cones with dips. 2) Mixed fried buffet: combine all eight shapes on a large platter for events, weddings and catering. 3) Pizzeria appetiser: a fast fritto misto to start the meal while the oven heats. 4) Finger food for banqueting: each 20/25 g piece is one bite, ideal for standing receptions. 5) Bar and bistro snacks: a quick hot offer at any time of day. Fry until deep golden and let rest a few minutes before serving, as the filling is very hot.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not thaw the product fully before frying high-moisture items: fry from frozen so the breading seals quickly. Do not let the oil drop below 180 °C, otherwise the filling leaks and the snack absorbs oil and turns greasy. Do not overcrowd the fryer basket: too many pieces lower the oil temperature. Do not refreeze after thawing, and consume within 24 hours once thawed.
Pairings and Service
Serve with classic dips such as mayonnaise, spicy tomato sauce, gorgonzola cream or lemon aioli. The mix pairs naturally with other LAPA antipasti: Apulian sweet olives, assorted savory buffet rustici and a cold sparkling wine or a craft beer for the apéritif. For a complete fried station, combine with the LAPA professional sunflower frying oil.
