SIENESE PASTRIES
The typical Sienese gastronomy has always privileged the pastries which have become famous not only in Italy but in the whole world, The panpepato is the oldest and poorest pastry of Siena, an exquisite mix of almonds, sugar and perfuming spices, which was invented in the kitchens of the convents. The richer panpepato was invented by the Sienese bakers in 1879 for the arrival of Queen Margherita, and got its name from the Queen and is more delicate with less spices and more candied fruit. The ricciarelli and the cavalucci are also very famous pastries, which are served at Christmas in all parts of Italy.
