Sfogliatella is a classic Italian pastry originating from the Campania region. Known for its shell-like shape and crisp, layered exterior, it is traditionally made with thin, flaky dough akin to phyllo and filled with a sweet ricotta-based mixture. The filling often incorporates semolina, cinnamon, candied citrus peels, and sometimes eggs, creating a creamy, slightly nutty flavor profile. While Sfogliatella is beloved for its indulgent taste and texture, it is relatively high in sugar and fats, especially due to butter or lard used in the dough. It provides a small amount of protein and calcium from the ricotta. This pastry is best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a daily snack. As with many traditional desserts, moderation is key to enjoying its delightful flavors while keeping health in balance.
