C’è un’arte antica che si tramanda di generazione in generazione e che unisce tradizione e passione. Quest’arte è quella dell’amaretto morbido, e noi, di Cavalier Vicenzi, la coltiviamo con amore dal 1955. È in questa data che Franco Vicenzi, esperto pasticcere giunge a Mombaruzzo dove scopre e apprende l’arte nella preparazione di questo piccolo dolce dorato che mescola in un’armonia di sapori le note al latte delle mandorle dolci con quelle amare delle mandorle armelline.
In keeping with tradition, Amaretteria Nobili uses only the finest ingredients. Each Nobili sweet is a genuine creation that skilfully combines the craftsmanship of master pastry chefs with innovation, giving life to an original range of products that, starting from the original Amaretto di Mombaruzzo recipe, takes you on a sensory journey to discover the excellence of Italian confectionery tradition. The result is a harmony of authentic flavours: from classic to fruity tastes, to satisfy every palate and make every occasion special.
The history of Mombaruzzo Amaretti biscuits has a noble flavour. It all began thanks to the love that blossomed between a treasurer of the House of Savoy and a Sicilian pastry chef, famous for her almond specialities. It was culinary love at first sight. Together, they decided to create something unique: A slightly bitter treat with a golden crust and a tender heart, which won over the palates of the Savoy court. Thus, Amaretto Morbido was born.
After retiring from service, the couple moved to Mombaruzzo, a small town in the Asti Monferrato area. Here they opened a small pastry shop, and amaretti biscuits became the house speciality.
Since then, the art of preparing this delicacy has been handed down through generations of mombaruzzesi master bakers, which still today use only simple but essential ingredients such as peeled almonds, egg whites and sugar, without using flour or yeast. Instead, it is the bitter almonds, with their bitter aftertaste, that give these sweets their unique character.
Amaretteria Nobili by Cavalier Vicenzi combines the tradition of Amaretto di Mombaruzzo with Italian confectionery excellence. The result is delicious sweets with delicate flavours. A journey through time, an embrace of flavours, a sincere tribute to the passion and art of Italian pastry-making.
“Sono buoni ma sono un po’ amari!”
