What it is
Crispy shell-shaped layers of thin pastry filled with sweet ricotta, semolina, and candied citrus. It comes in two classic versions: Riccia and Frolla.
Taste translation
If you like flaky pastries with creamy filling, this is the Neapolitan masterpiece. Crunchy, sweet, and citrusy.
Zen's note
Get it warm. There are two classic versions: riccia, with crispy flaky layers, and frolla, which is softer and more delicate. Try both and choose your side.
