The authentic taste of a traditional Bronte cake.
Rating: 9/10
Bar Collina Verde, in Bronte, crafts excellent pistachio products. Among their many delights, we tried their pistachio cake for you.
The dry pistachio cake is a traditional Bronte dessert, which you will hardly find elsewhere, unless you settle for incomparable imitations.
The batter is entirely made of pistachio, with the typical brownish color resulting from baking, then covered in pistachio flakes and filled with pistachio cream (sometimes referred to as pistachio nutella). The pistachio used is strictly Bronte pistachio DOP.
Within this pistachio extravaganza, we find a light hint of white chocolate from the glaze (used to hold the chopped nuts), which in this case is perfectly balanced and helps enhance the dessert without masking the pistachio.
NOTE: in the photo, you can see it paired with a "Pistaccino" (click here for the review)
A highly recommended product for its genuine pistachio flavor, which deserves a rating of 9/10.
