Rossana Hazelnut Almond Candies – Gluten-Free Filled

A filled sweet to melt away with coffee

Coffee is served and nobody wants dessert? Put a few Rossana in a small dish: the shell cracks under the tooth, then the hazelnut and almond centre melts slowly. And since they are gluten-free, everyone can have one.

What you will taste

• Texture: a hard shell that cracks, then a creamy centre.
• Aromas: caramel, toasted hazelnut and sweet almond.
• Taste: milky and round, a caramelised sweetness that lasts.

How to use it

• With a strong espresso, to answer its bitterness.
• At the end of a meal, instead of dessert.
• In a paper bag tied with a ribbon, as a small gift.

Where it comes from

The Rossana sweet was created in 1926 by Perugina, in Perugia, and owes its name to Roxane, Cyrano de Bergerac's beloved. Since 2016, the brand has belonged to the Piedmontese confectioner Fida, which produces it in Castagnole delle Lanze, in the province of Asti.
