Susamelle di Calabria Black with Sugar Icing gr 300

There is no Christmas in Calabria without susumelle, the typical honey-based oval biscuits with spices, raisins, candied fruit and covered in white or dark chocolate.

The history of susumelle is very ancient and in some ways mysterious, even the name is the subject of discussion: according to some it could derive from the words sesamun and mel, i.e. sesame and honey, and therefore descend from the sweets that in Ancient Greece were prepared in honor of the goddesses Demeter and Core.

Furthermore, there were three types of susumelle (although made in different shapes and ingredients than ours): noble, with white flour and intended for the rich; of the piper, with mixed flour and waste ingredients, and of the good journey good but intended for priests and friars.

In short, it seems that once susumelle, unlike today, were not so good and not even appreciated by most people. Luckily that extreme poverty no longer exists and over time the good Calabrians, no longer discriminated against, have enriched them with ingredients that make them truly delicious. Now the susumelle are noble for everyone!

What we offer are the original susumelle from Soriano Calabro
