Description

Before they were called pizzelle in America, they were ferratelle in Abruzzo. These Italian waffle cookies are one of the oldest sweet traditions of the region, and in L'Aquila they are still made the old way: hand-kneaded dough, pressed and cooked on cast iron, one at a time.

What to expect. Our ferratelle are thicker and more rustic than the thin pizzelle most Americans know, with a satisfying crunch and a clean, simple flavor with a touch of vanilla. No anise, no added colorings or flavorings: just real ingredients.

Perfectly imperfect. Because they are made by hand, every ferratella is a little different in size and color, and one box may hold 10 pieces while another holds 11. The weight is always guaranteed: at least 230 g (8.11 oz).

Enjoy them on their own with coffee, spread with jam, honey or chocolate, crumbled over gelato, or tucked into a lunchbox. Like all real baked goods, they have a naturally short shelf life.

Contains: wheat, eggs, milk. Full ingredients and allergen details in the Ingredients tab.

Your questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ferratelle the same as pizzelle?

They belong to the same cookie family. Ferratelle is the name used in L'Aquila and inland Abruzzo. Read the story on our blog.

Do they taste of anise?

No. Ours are made the way most families in L'Aquila enjoy them today: simple, lightly sweet, with a touch of vanilla.

Are they thin like pizzelle?

No, they are thicker and crunchier than most American pizzelle, closer to the rustic ferratelle made at home in Abruzzo.

I have been missing these type of…

I have been missing these type of cookies ever since I visited Italy on many occasions. Most of the products you find here in the stores are really not what you get in Italy and these were as real as it gets. When I ordered the Assorted Amaretti and the Ferratelle I was hoping they would not disappoint and they didn't. The smell alone was incredible, the flavor and the texture was exactly what I hoped for. I am just glad that someone is making this available to us here in the states. I would highly recommend you give them a try especially if you like and appreciate cookie craftsmanship.
