A Handmade Masterpiece.
The Sicilian Brioche is not just a pastry; it’s an institution.
Instantly recognizable by its iconic shape, it is crowned with the famous "tuppo" a round ball of dough named after the traditional chignon hairstyle worn by Sicilian women of the past.
Pure Authenticity, Born from Tradition
Each brioche is entirely handmade by a true Sicilian woman, following a recipe passed down through generations.
When you hold one, you are holding the result of manual skill and a deep respect for heritage.
The 12-Hour Ritual: True quality takes time. The dough undergoes a slow rising process of over 12 hours. This long, patient fermentation is what creates that legendary "cotton-like" softness and ensures a light, airy texture that is incredibly easy to digest.
The Human Touch: Every single tuppo is shaped and placed by hand. These slight, charming imperfections are the hallmark of a truly artisanal product—no two brioches are exactly alike.
A Symphony of Senses
The Texture: Golden and burnished on the outside, the interior is a masterpiece of softness, pulling apart in delicate, pillowy layers.
The Aroma: As you break it open, you are greeted by the unmistakable scent of the Mediterranean: fresh citrus zest and orange blossom notes that dance on the palate.
The Sicilian Way: It is the soulmate of Sicilian Granita or artisanal gelato. The local ritual is sacred: you must break off the "tuppo" first and dunk it into the cold creaminess for the ultimate Sicilian breakfast.
"This is more than a snack; it is the flavor of a Sicilian home, crafted with the patience and passion that only a pair of expert hands can provide."
