During the tasting, dedicated options are available for specific dietary requirements, including a gluten-free Caprese cake for guests with coeliac disease, a lactose-free Santa Patrizia sfogliatella, and, upon request, soy-based beverages.
The tasting included in the experience features a Santa Patrizia Riccia Sfogliatella, accompanied by a second pastry of your choice and a mini babà.

The Santa Patrizia Sfogliatella is considered one of the oldest recipes in the Neapolitan pastry tradition, with origins linked to the convent culture of the seventeenth century. Unlike the classic sfogliatella, it features a ricotta-free filling made with semolina, hazelnuts, almonds and natural flavourings, giving it a more ancient and delicately spiced taste.
