Maritozzo Xmas Edition

The “maritozzo” has always been considered a dessert full of Roman significance and tradition.


This soft sweet bun, with its characteristic elongated appearance, has its roots in ancient Rome, when it was customary among young lovers to give it to their fiancée as a gesture of affection.


The very name of the cake derives from this ancient custom: future brides, in fact, used to call their beloved “maritozzo,” an affectionate pet name that combines the term “husband” with a diminutive, joking suffix.


Often, a small gift, such as a ring or a piece of jewelry, was hidden inside the maritozzo, making the sweet a true messenger of love.


Even today, in many regions of Italy, maritozzo is considered a pleasant accompaniment for breakfasts or snacks in company, preserving intact its meaning as an expression of affection and sharing.


Its preparation, handed down from generation to generation, sees the use of simple and genuine ingredients, such as flour, eggs, sugar and sometimes candied fruit or raisins, which give it a delicate and enveloping flavor.
