Mostaccioli and vincotto bites: the holiday sweets
Among our Sweet treats there are two that we immediately associate with Christmas: mostaccioli with vincotto and pezzetti with vincotto. It is no coincidence that you will also find them in our Christmas collection, next to the panettoni. In this article we tell you what is inside them and how they differ.
What they have in common
Mostaccioli and pezzetti share some ingredients that give them a recognisable character: fig syrup, cocoa and lemon. They bring the aromas of the holidays to the table. Both come in packs of 15 pieces and have a shelf life of 3 months.
Pezzetti with vincotto
In the pezzetti, type 00 wheat flour is combined with durum wheat semolina. The aroma comes from cinnamon, lemon and unsweetened cocoa, while fig syrup completes the dough.
- Ingredients: type 00 wheat flour, durum wheat semolina, sugar, cinnamon, lemon, unsweetened cocoa, raising agent, fig syrup.
- Pack: 350 g, 15 pieces.
- Shelf life: 3 months.
You can find them here: Pezzetti with vincotto.
Mostaccioli with vincotto
Mostaccioli have a dough made with olive oil, cocoa, lemon and fig syrup. They are the holiday sweet in its simplest form, and the starting point for the four coated varieties.
- Ingredients: type 00 wheat flour, olive oil, sugar, cocoa, lemon, raising agent, fig syrup.
- Pack: 300 g, 15 pieces.
- Shelf life: 3 months.

The four coatings
If you like an extra touch, mostaccioli are also available with a coating. The dough stays the same; only what goes on top changes:
- Dark chocolate: for those who want to stay with the intense taste of cocoa. Mostaccioli with dark chocolate coating.
- White chocolate: a sweet contrast with the cocoa in the dough. Mostaccioli with white chocolate coating.
- Pistachio: for those who won't give up pistachio even at Christmas. Mostaccioli with pistachio coating.
- Orange flavour: a citrus note that goes well with the lemon in the dough. Mostaccioli with orange-flavoured coating.
Pezzetti or mostaccioli?
If you love cinnamon and spiced aromas, pezzetti are your choice. If you prefer a sweet with olive oil in the dough, or want to play with the coatings, go for mostaccioli. And if you can't decide, put them on the table together, on the same tray, and let everyone choose.
How to enjoy them during the holidays
Mostaccioli and pezzetti are perfect at the end of a meal, with a coffee or a glass of dessert wine, or in the afternoon when guests drop by. They also make a gift idea: a pack next to a panettone instantly feels festive. If you are looking for something to bring or to send, take a look at the Gifts page.
Before choosing, if there are allergies or intolerances, check the full list of ingredients and allergens on each product's page, especially for the coated versions.
