The story of the sfogliatella

Like the most famous desserts, the sfogliatella was also born by chance. Legend has it that about 400 years ago, in Convent of Santarosa on the Amalfi Coast, a nun, not to throw advanced semolina, she created a filling by mixing it with dried fruit, sugar and liqueur.

A filling that inserted into a leafy wrapper, based on lard and white wine and to which it gave the shape of a hood. The freshly baked cake, with its incomparable perfume and taste, was baptized Sfogliatella Santarosa, which, over time, was enriched with sour cherries, custard and ricotta.

The recipe ended up in the hands of the Neapolitan Pintauro, who introduced it into the city by slightly changing the ingredients. Thus the Sfogliatella made in Naples was born handed down until today, filled with semolina, eggs, ricotta, candied fruit, milk and sugar; in the classic "curly", of puff pastry, and in the version "Pastry" prepared with shortcrust pastry.
