Sicilian Filled Cassata: the sweet symbol of Sicilian tradition
The Sicilian Filled Cassata Frozen by Eurofood Ice brings to the tables of Swiss food-service professionals one of the most iconic desserts of Italian pastry. Born in the monasteries of Sicily and perfected over the centuries, the cassata is today an emblem of Mediterranean confectionery culture: a refined balance between the whiteness of ricotta, the sweetness of almond paste and the burst of colour from candied fruit. Each single 120-gram portion encapsulates this artisanal heritage in a practical format, designed for restaurants, pastry shops, bars, hotels and caterers who want to offer an authentic dessert without compromising on quality.
This is a frozen artisanal gelato cassata: freezing at -18 °C preserves the softness of the ladyfinger biscuit, the creaminess of the gelato and the integrity of the candied fruit and pistachio decorations, guaranteeing a product that is always ready to use with consistent results throughout the year.
The filling: artisanal gelato, pistachio, chocolate and candied fruit
The heart of the cassata is its generous filling, which tells the flavour of the Italian gelato tradition in every bite. Our Filled Cassata combines selected ingredients to deliver a rich and balanced taste profile.
- Milk and cream gelato: soft and velvety, made with whole milk and cream, it is the creamy soul of the dessert.
- Pistachio paste and dark chocolate drops: enrich the gelato with aromatic and indulgent notes, an unmistakable signature of flavour.
- Ladyfinger biscuit: soft and delicate, it builds the structure of the dessert.
- Candied fruit: adds colour, aroma and a pleasant texture, completing the sensory experience.
The 120 g x 12 pcs format: practicality for food service
The carton contains 12 single-portion cassatas of 120 g each, for a total of about 1.44 kg of product. This format was designed for the needs of professional catering: individual portioning eliminates waste, allows serving only the quantities needed and keeps the rest of the carton perfectly preserved in the freezer. Ideal for managing variable volumes, from the small bistro to large-scale catering.
