Maritozzo con Panna 90 g (Carton 12) — San Giorgio

Maritozzo con Panna by San Giorgio: the Roman cream bun for your breakfast service

The Maritozzo con Panna by San Giorgio is a frozen, pre-baked Roman bun filled with 33% fresh whipped cream, sold in a carton of 12 pieces of 90 g each. Soft leavened dough, the classic oval shape (about 12 cm long), ready to thaw and serve: a turnkey solution for bars, cafes and pastry shops that want the icon of Italian breakfast without an internal bakery.

What the maritozzo is: history and tradition

The maritozzo is one of the oldest sweets of Roman pastry tradition, a soft sweet bun that in Rome is traditionally split and filled with abundant whipped cream. Its name is linked to popular tradition: it was the bun that the future husband (the marito) offered to his betrothed, and it remains to this day a fixed feature of the Roman breakfast served in the historic bars of the capital. After years confined to central Italy, the cream maritozzo has become a nationwide and international trend, present on the breakfast and brunch menus of the best coffee shops.

The producer: San Giorgio SpA

The product is made by San Giorgio SpA, an artisan workshop founded in 1980 by Sabato Bruno in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno (Campania), today one of the Italian leaders in frozen bakery for the food-service sector. The company works with about 150 people and 15 production lines, exports to several countries and guarantees quality through BRC and IFS food-safety certifications and an ISO 9001 quality system. The frozen-bakery model lets each venue bake or thaw only what it needs, cutting waste while keeping artisan quality.

Professional uses in food service

Star of the Italian breakfast: serve it thawed alongside a cappuccino or an espresso for the classic bar breakfast. Perfect for hotel breakfast buffets, brunch menus and mid-morning breaks. Pastry shops can finish it with a dusting of icing sugar, a few candied or fresh berries, or a citrus zest to create a signature version. Excellent for catering and events, served in mignon format on sweet trays.

Pairings

It pairs naturally with espresso coffee and cappuccino; for a more indulgent service, accompany it with a sweet sparkling wine or a glass of cold milk. On the buffet it works well next to other Neapolitan baked specialties such as sfogliatella and coda d'aragosta.
