Pasticceria Casoli

History and Values:

Pasticceria Casoli was born in Troia (FG), Puglia, in the Dauni Mountains, in a charming medieval village, 16 years ago. It was born out of Lucia's passion for good food, especially sweets. The very positive feedback from the public then involved Nicola, her spouse, in management and marketing, which required a broader organization and production to meet the demands of all customers.

Our mission is to surprise customers with products and services, innovating traditions, experimenting with flavors and combinations, with the commitment to excel in engaging all senses, interpreting the territory with natural products.

Behind the quality of our products lies the care and attention to respecting the standard of excellence of the raw materials. Our production specializes in sweet products made from local ricotta, selected flours, and unique Pugliese almonds (Filippo Cea) known for their organoleptic composition.

Our flagship products are PASSIONATA® and PAN DI PUGLIA®, sweets created by us, regularly registered in name and recipe. For us, quality is not only a fundamental principle but also a responsibility because we are aware of working in a delicate sector where it is our duty to ensure the protection of our customers' health. That is why the controls on our products are very strict and comply with national and European regulations.

Our products appeal to those who seek the security of unique, special, and original things. With the awareness of enjoying simple but genuine and low-calorie creations. They are for those who care about quality, the specialties of the territory, lovers of good and refined things, those who have a sweet tooth. They are for those who want to satisfy a moment of celebration, bring a gift from the territory that encompasses the colors, scents, and flavors of Puglia.

PASSIONATA®:

The passion for one's work, the territory, good things done well, and last but not least, the passion of the couple who turned their passion into a job, give the name to this exclusive dessert (Passio-nata, Born from Passion). The idea was to create a product whose beauty and goodness expressed the aromas, colors, and flavors of our territory. To surprise customers with a taste that is not overly sweet but has a well-defined and delicate character. To offer moments of complete abandonment to pleasure and taste.

PASSIONATA® has been defined as:

An evocative expression of devotional feelings with a strong tradition.

The Dauni response to the famous and well-known "Sicilian cassata," but lighter, delicate, elegant, and refined, a high-quality pastry.

A concentrate of rural identity enhanced by the ethereal lightness of its ricotta.

On the edge of sensuality.

A paradise for the palate.

Organoleptic orgasm.

A timeless treasure chest to encapsulate all the intangible heritage of ancient "transhumance" contaminations.

"The ambition of this modern 'Dolce degli Dei' is to sing and extol Puglia to the attentive palates of the whole world, transforming the ancient lament of the Diomedes into a symphony of sensations capable of stimulating sensitive souls and arousing the desire to discover the hidden treasures of Puglia."

"Plunging a spoon into this treasure trove of traditions and rural identity, in a place so timeless, awakens the ancient memory, often dormant, of our true passions."

"An embrace of sweetness, tradition, and the nostalgic idea of genuine village pastry, in this case, further embellished by Lucia, who delicately places a marzipan flower on top, one by one."

"Enchanted by goodness, colors, and beauty, it is a delicious dessert made in Puglia."

PASSIONATA® is produced in 11 different flavors, just like the rays of the rose window of the magnificent cathedral of Troia, and each flavor is represented by a color. In particular, the Classic, with its delicate pink color, won the prize for the best dessert in Puglia for two years in Trani (Bat). It has the flavor of "Blooming Almond" and is made with 3 types of ricotta: Cow, sheep, and buffalo, blended with a secret, innovative, and exclusive process.

The variations include Gargano Orange, Amaretto (bitter Pugliese almond), Moscato di Trani, Nero di Troia Wine, Elderflower, Pomegranate. To meet the demands of our customers, we have also added Hazelnut, Pistachio, Strega, and Lattedoro (Turmeric and Black Pepper). The flower resting on the almond dome symbolizes the magnificent Rose Window of the Cathedral of Troia.
