The Product's Story
Ventagli di Sfoglia — also known as prussiane or palmiers — have a history reaching back to the Arab lands of the 8th century, from which they spread across Europe, first in court kitchens and then in the pastry shops of every city.
Our version stays true to the original idea: puff pastry laminated by hand, with Italian wheat flour and Piedmontese butter from fresh centrifuged cream, water, salt and sugar. Simple, genuine ingredients and precise technique.
The layered lamination brings unexpected lightness; the caramel that forms on the surface during baking gives that irresistible crunch that makes them impossible to stop eating. Each fan is different from the next: a living shape, true craftsmanship.
