How to enjoy

Origin
Babà Napoletano is one of Naples' most iconic desserts. Although its origins can be traced back to Central Europe, it was perfected by Neapolitan pastry chefs, who transformed it into the rum-soaked delicacy enjoyed throughout Italy today. Made from a light yeast dough and soaked in aromatic syrup, Babà has become a symbol of Neapolitan pastry tradition and remains a favourite for celebrations and everyday indulgence alike.

As it was a party to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary.
We were very impressed with the ease of ordering. We ordered a week before and requested a delivery date via the comments page. Received an email from the company stating requested delivery date. Very impressed by the whole set up.
The meats and cheeses were of top quality.
Thank you to the AFFETTO Italiano team 🇮🇹

Thank you!
Super fast delivery, the packaging was great. With its very own freezer bag and cool bag. Very impressive.
I haven’t tried the product yet but I’m sure it will be exactly what I need for my carbonara dishes.
La salsiccia è bellissima, ho fatto uno stufato di salsiccia e fagioli bianchi - era buono, ne comprerò ancora e la congelerò
Sausage is beautiful, made sausage and white bean stew - it was good , be buying more and freezing -
I’d never heard of this flour prior to a conversation on a plane with an Australian lady who said she made bread using this flour. So I bought some immediately upon my return and made this! I’m so proud of myself for doing such a good job and, even better, it tastes amazing. I’m gluten free and GF bread isn’t always the best, but this is superb. It tastes like normal food would and is just delicious. My husband also likes it so I will be making a lot more! The only downside is that it is very sticky.
