Scorzette di Bernalda Biscuits

The signature sweet of Bernalda

Scorzette di Bernalda are among the most representative specialities of Basilicata's traditional pastry making. Originating in Bernalda, these biscuits are loved for their distinctive curved, bark-like shape, crisp texture and balance between sweet almonds and intense dark chocolate.

A simple recipe celebrating genuine ingredients

Scorzette di Bernalda follow a traditional recipe using just a few carefully selected ingredients: almonds, egg whites and sugar. After baking, they become crumbly and crunchy, are shaped into their characteristic curved form and coated with dark chocolate for a rich, aromatic finish.

Perfect for dessert or as a gift

Enjoy Scorzette di Bernalda after a meal with coffee, artisan liqueurs or dessert wines. Their elegant appearance and local history also make them a lovely gift for anyone who wants to discover the authentic sweet traditions of Basilicata.

After baking, these traditional biscuits take on their distinctive crumbly, crunchy texture. Their unmistakable concave, bark-like shape and coating of dark chocolate create a pleasant contrast between the sweetness of the almonds and an intense, aromatic chocolate finish.
