Studied by our Research and Development, it has the taste and fragrance of the Puff-pastry but doesn’t crumble when cut. Sfoglino is made with an artisanal Italian Recipe. Our FTO product saves labor cost and freezer space.
In comparison to traditional focaccia, Sfoglino offers same quality at a much more affordable price. The dough is made using the precious Waldkorn® Ancient Cereals, with a unique and unmistakable taste and is decorated on the surface with a rich mix of oat flakes, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and brown flax seeds.
Like all of our puff-pastries, it is a true FTO product, proofing as it bakes. With our FTO technology our shipping cases are very compact, taking up less than half of the space of a pre-cooked frozen sandwich of equal
weight even with similar deployment times.
Thanks to the Quality of our Puff-pastry, unlike a normal sandwich, Sfoglino guarantees the constancy of
freshness during the whole day. Sfoglino is versatile: pre-cut from frozen (before cooking) by the bartender it can cover any format need: midi, cut in two, mini, cut in three/ four parts.
