The holiday season is here and this is the busiest time of the year for us and one of the most important for many companies we work with back in Italy.

You may know some of the “big” names we sell on BellaItalia, but we proud ourselves also to be the sponsors of Italian taste well beyond the most known and famous brands.

Some of the products you can find on our site are absolute exclusives and we are more than happy to help you discover more about small family businesses who are great at keeping up with the traditional recipes!

Here are some of our favorite Italian desserts to create your own personalized and unique Christmas baskets!

 

Cookies for all

This year Cianciullo, our friends from Jelsi, really exceeded our expectations with their incredible Mostaccioli!

These spiced cookies are their best sellers for a reason: they are surprisingly tender, made from the best Italian raw material and they incorporate the best Holiday spirit! Try them with milk or coffee in the morning, enjoy them with a hot cup of tea, or grab one to accompany a glass of homemade Vin Brulé! Mostaccioli for us are a must in this season and this is why we made sure to have an ample selection for you too!

Torrone and more

It would not be Christmas without Torrone! Di Iorio is our go-to family brand for Nougat and traditional Torrone, but we must admit we also love Sperlari’s Chocolate one: entire hazelnuts enclosed in their classic or dark chocolate. What better way to end a meal?

Another secret of our holiday’s baskets is Panforte: this dessert, typical of the city of Siena, is made with dried fruits and nuts and is an exclusive addition for an authentic Italian Christmas!

Christmas Cakes

If you like Borsari’s artisanal Panettone and Pandoro, you will love their cakes as well! The Christmas Tree cake and the Cuor d Pandoro with Gianduia are exactly what you need to spice up your Christmas desserts list. But it does not stop here!

Cianciullo’s expert bakers love to create exceptional recipes following the family’s secret recipe books: our tips for this year is to get your hands on their soft and aromatic Pan di Jelsi before it is sold out!
