Sfogliatella

Have you ever seen this stuff?
It is called sfogliatella, a Neapolitan speciality.
The crust is made of very long ribbon coiled up to make a case, stuffed with ricotta (Italian sweet cheese) and baked in oven.
It has a distinct shell shape.
This piece I ate in Marina di Pisa.
It was sooooooooooooooooo nice. I have eaten some also in Naples, but they were not always good. This one was as good as the nicest one I ate in Naples, and cost only 1 euro.
Next time I go Pisa, I will visit the pastry shop again. Worth it.

Southern Italy is sweets heaven. I need to plan to go to Campania and Sicily just to eat sweets.
Hello Sayeed,
Unfortunately, even I cannot get hold of it so long as I'm in UK.

Wow, this pastry looks really nice. I don't know if we have them here...probably hiding somewhere!

I have never seen this stuff outside Italy, but considering there are many Italian immigrants in your country, it is possible they are lurking somewhere.
