The Erremme babà cup 2nd size (portababà 2ª misura) is a transparent food-grade PET single-portion cup, internal size approx. 70 × 45 mm, sold in packs of 100 pieces. It is designed to hold rum babà, savarin and syrup-soaked pastries: the rigid PET wall retains the soaking syrup, keeps its shape and leaves the dessert fully visible. BPA-free, 100% recyclable (PET 01), made in Italy, EAN 8027212500816.
What Is a Portababà?
The portababà is the classic transparent cup of the Neapolitan and Italian pastry counter. Babà au rhum is served generously soaked in syrup: an ordinary paper case would soften within minutes, while the rigid transparent PET cup contains the liquid, protects the crumb and turns each single portion into a ready-to-sell item. The 2nd size (approx. 70 × 45 mm internal) fits the standard medium babà of about 60-80 g, as well as savarin, small tiramisù portions and spoon desserts.
The Producer: Erremme of Foligno, Umbria
Erremme S.r.l. was founded in 1985 in Foligno, in the province of Perugia (Umbria), initially producing polystyrene containers for gelato. Today the company manufactures one of the widest made-in-Italy ranges of packaging for gelato shops, pastry shops and cafeterias: cups, trays, pirottini and display solutions. All production is Italian, with the factory at Via A. Da Sangallo 27, Foligno.
Material and Food Safety
The cup is made of crystal-clear PET 01, certified for food contact and BPA-free, as printed on the original Erremme label. PET is 100% recyclable in the standard plastic collection stream. Store the cups in a dry place at room temperature, away from heat sources and direct light; PET is not suitable for oven use.
Professional Uses in the Pastry Lab
Fill each cup with a 60-80 g babà and soak directly in the cup with rum or limoncello syrup at 50-60 °C: the transparent wall shows the soaking level and prevents leaks in the display case. Use it for savarin with chantilly, single-portion tiramisù or panna cotta for the take-away counter, and for buffet and catering desserts that must travel without damage. The cups are stackable, so a full service for 100 guests takes minimal bench space.
Display, Takeaway and Delivery
In the refrigerated display case the transparent cup gives the customer a full view of the product, which sells the dessert by itself. For delivery and take-away the rigid wall protects the soaked babà from crushing and keeps syrup inside the cup, not on the box. Pair it with a lidded pastry box or transport tray for a complete delivery solution.
