Today, at breakfast time: “Zeppole di San Giuseppe” and view of snow, that covered roofs of winery and gardens of Terredora estate.
A bit curiosity about St. Joseph’s Pastries, in Italian Zeppole di San Giuseppe, traditional cream filled pastries, typically from Campania region.
Since Saint Joseph is known to be the foster-father of Jesus Christ, in Italy on this day, on March 19th,we also celebrate Father’s Day.
In this period, it is always very common to find on tables these pastries, very appreciated by kids and adults in Campania.
Zeppole shells are made of a classic choux pastry dough and are filled with delicious, silky pastry cream and decorated with cherries.
In the most classic version zeppole are deep fried in extra virgin olive oil like for example Terredora one, but you can find also delicious oven baked zeppole.
If you would like to eat this special pastry as dessert to end an Italian style dinner, you can match pair with an Italian Passito.
In particular, taste the Terredora Passito Campania Igt, produced from Aglianico grapes, selected and harvested after a long drying on the vine.
Elegant and persistent, with notes of ripe red fruits, it is perfect as an after-meal wine.
Let yourself be pampered by the Campania food and wine tradition.
