Cuor di Amaretto
1960s recipe
The intense flavour of Cuor di Mandorla gave rise to Cuor di Amaretto and Cuor di Amaretto morbido, two ready-to-use flours that capture the flavour, aroma and tradition of the Italian amaretto. Natural sweet and bitter almonds, with no added flavourings, following the traditional formulation Calfra used in the 1960s.
Already finely ground, they offer aromatic intensity, ease of use, versatility and cost-effectiveness.
As a dusting
On biscuits, petits fours, cakes and desserts.
As an ingredient
For biscuits, baked goods, gelato, spoon desserts, other confectionery specialities and fillings for fresh pasta.
