Strega Alberti Coffee Croccantino is a traditional Italian hazelnut brittle flavored with coffee and covered in rich dark chocolate. Made by the historic Alberti confectionery in Benevento, Italy, this specialty combines the crunch of caramelized hazelnuts with the bold flavor of coffee and a smooth chocolate finish.
What Is Croccantino?
Croccantino is a traditional crunchy confection particularly associated with Benevento in southern Italy. Its name comes from the Italian word croccante, meaning crisp or crunchy, and refers to the satisfying texture of its caramelized nut center.
Unlike soft Italian nougat, Croccantino has a firm, brittle-like texture. Alberti's coffee variation adds a familiar Italian flavor to this regional specialty, bringing together hazelnuts, coffee and dark chocolate.
Caramelized Hazelnuts, Coffee and Dark Chocolate
Strega's recipe contains 21% hazelnuts and 1.8% coffee, creating a fragrant, crunchy center with a distinct roasted coffee flavor. Each piece is covered in dark chocolate, which accounts for 44% of the product and contains at least 51% cocoa.
The combination offers a pleasant balance of sweetness, roasted nuts, coffee and cocoa. Produced by Alberti, a company founded in Benevento in 1860, it reflects the city's longstanding confectionery traditions.
How to Enjoy
Enjoy Coffee Croccantino with espresso or cappuccino for an extra coffee treat. It is also delicious broken into pieces over vanilla gelato.
