THE ARTISAN PROCESS

The sugar-coating follows the old artisan "crespatura" technique: hand-cut cinnamon sticks are worked in traditional slow-rotating basins. Sugar, added a little at a time through the "lavesino" — an old-fashioned funnel — forms thin layers that give the surface its distinctive irregular, refined texture.

FAQ

What kind of cinnamon do you use for the confetti?

We use only Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), the finest and most aromatic variety.

What does "crespata" sugar-coating mean?

It's an old technique that deliberately creates an irregular surface. This helps better retain the spice's essential oils and gives a more interesting texture.

Why were they called "chamber spices"?

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, these spiced confetti were offered to distinguished guests in the private chambers of noble palaces. Being able to offer such costly spices was a mark of great prestige and wealth.

What do cinnamon confetti pair with?

Perfect with black tea, Arabic coffee, mulled wine and spiced liqueurs. They pair beautifully with dark chocolate, dried fruit and blue cheeses. Also excellent crumbled over fruit salad or yoghurt.
