Laganedd di Stigliano Traditional Lucanian Christmas Pastry

Laganedd di Stigliano, a Traditional Lucanian Sweet

Laganedd di Stigliano are among the oldest and most representative sweets of Basilicata. Originating in the heart of Stigliano and still prepared today according to the traditional recipe by Forno Iannicella, they tell the story of Lucanian rural culture through simple, genuine ingredients transformed into a uniquely flavourful speciality.

A Centuries-Old Recipe from the Tradition of the Gleaners

Laganedd were known as the sweet of the gleaners, the women who returned to the fields after the harvest to gather what remained, including wheat, almonds and grapes. Their name derives from the laganatore, the traditional rolling pin used to roll out lagana dough. Today they are still prepared according to a recipe handed down for generations, using carefully selected ingredients:

• Almonds
• Walnuts
• Raisins
• Dark chocolate
• Cocoa
• Cinnamon
• Cloves and honey

Perfect at Christmas and Available All Year Round

Traditionally enjoyed at Christmas, Laganedd di Stigliano are now available throughout the year thanks to the work of Forno Iannicella. They are delicious with walnut liqueur, sweet wines or as an after-dinner dessert, offering an authentic experience of traditional Lucanian pastry-making.
