The Veneziana is a symbol of the culinary tradition of Venice, aptly
representing its heritage and the combination of the cultural influences of
faraway lands mixed in with Italian creativity. Over the centuries, the simple
softness of this sweet bread was flavored with the spices that came to Venice
from the East. Dario Loison created his version of the Veneziana by bringing
together the unique characteristics of the Venetian pastry tradition with his
passion and experience gained over the years. The result is a skilfully
leavened cake, enriched with fine crystalized sugar and Italian nuts. It only
takes a look at Sonia Design’s packaging to find ourselves in the enchanting
city of Venice. The Grand Canal, the familiar statue of Moorish merchant
Rioba, and the Palazzo Mastelli are reproduced with elegance on the packaging
and combined with the traditional shape of the Venetian window, thus giving
texture to the entire container. The final touch is added by the ribbon
holder, a coin called Osella that the Doge gave as a gift to the members of
the Great Council. Pistacchio Verde di Bronte PDO. This pistachio variety
grows only in the hilly land around Bronte, Catania, and only here does it
acquire a bright emerald-green color and an intense, resinous fragrance.
Pistachio nuts are harvested in September and are used in the making of many
confections, such as brittles, nougats, cakes, and pastries. Vanilla is one of
the most prized spices. Loison sources theirs directly from growers in
Madagascar, as they offer one of the best vanilla crops in the world. The
fragrant black pods we are more familiar with are obtained after a lengthy
production process
