How to enjoy the Sfratto dei Goym?

Coupe le Sfratto dei Goym en tranches fines and enjoy it at room temperature : its honey and walnut center is compact, very sweet and fragrant with spices and citrus. It's best to avoid biting into the whole stick, which can be firm. Take a small slice at a time to distinguish the crispness of the dough from the softer filling.

À Pitigliano, this traditional cake is associated with the Christmas season, but some bakeries and local product shops also offer it during the rest of the year; check availability before making the trip. To accompany it, you can choose a small glass ofAleatico, a sweet wine that pairs well with honey and walnuts, or simply a coffee if you prefer to avoid adding sugar. Recipes vary: some versions are egg-free, while others use eggs to glaze the dough. If this difference matters to you, ask about the ingredients before buying.

With its striking name, the Sfratto dei Goym already has more character than a well-behaved shop-window cake!
