Well-filled, but the pistachio is overshadowed by the aromas.
Rating: 7/10
Bar Pasticceria Mavilla, in Catania, participated in the great 2018 rame challenge with its beautiful pistachio rame di napoli.
The appearance is truly stunning, with ramette crafted in every detail and a generous topping full of pistachio cream. The cream proves to be abundant when we open the rame, as it is not only on top but also injected into the heart of the biscuit.
The pistachio cream is very good, but it inherits the aromas of the surrounding biscuit (which is very aromatic), which unfortunately dampen the pistachio flavor significantly. There is also a very slight alcoholic note, which might come from some of the flavorings.
Certainly, with a few adjustments, Bar Mavilla could really shine, because you can tell they use high-quality raw ingredients.
For the rame in the competition, the rating, based exclusively on the pistachio taste, is 7/10 in the super 2018 pistachio rame ranking.
