The almond, created in the first half of the nineteenth century by the Colombian apothecary Giovanni Finco, is the confectionery specialty that made the town of Cologna Veneta famous throughout the world.

The ingenious and precious recipe arose from the need to make a genuine and original dessert to be enjoyed with friends on long winter evenings. The apothecary developed the formula after laborious research using ingredients traditionally used for centuries in the preparation of many desserts: honey, almonds, sugar, egg white. The secret of this formula lies in the dosage of the ingredients and in the scrupulous attention of the cooking phase.

The result is the Mandorlato. A one-of-a-kind dessert: healthy, rich in calories and energy value that certainly surpasses any other similar product in delicacy and goodness. These qualities allow us to count it in the annals of Italian gastronomy as one of the best confectionery products of all time. ”
