CHOCOLATE COVERED MELIGA BISCUITS

Format: 220 g

A product that combines tradition and refinement, made with stone-ground “Ottofile” cornmeal. This ancient variety, with its naturally sweet flavor and intense aroma, gives a rustic and distinctive texture, while the contrast with the creaminess of fine dark chocolate creates a unique sensory experience.

The ingredient that makes the difference

Ottofile corn takes its name from the eight rows of kernels that make up the cob. Also known as the “king’s meliga” — as it was favored by Victor Emmanuel II — it is distinguished by its heart-shaped, flat, smooth, and shiny kernels, yellow-orange in color with a small black dot at the point of attachment to the white cob. A precious variety, late-harvested and with modest yield, yet capable of giving the flour an intense aroma and an extraordinarily authentic taste. A dessert that tells the story and excellence of the Piedmontese rural tradition, enriched by the elegant note of dark chocolate.
