The Organic Almond Pastries by the Social Cooperative L'Arcolaio are a highlight of Sicilian pastry, made with organic ingredients and handcrafted to preserve the authentic taste and fragrance of Sicilian almonds.
These sweets, with their soft texture and intense flavor, are perfect for those who want to enjoy a genuine product made according to tradition.
The almonds used are sourced from organic farming, ensuring a healthy product free from chemical additives.
Through the production and sale of organic products, the cooperative offers opportunities for redemption and professional training, while also promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
Almond pastries are typical Sicilian desserts with a soft and fragrant heart.
In order to make these pastries, we use the highest quality biological ingredients, processed by hand in accordance with tradition. Thanks to the use of fair trade cane sugar, our almond pastries are perfectly balanced in their sweetness (and you won't stop eating them...).
They are ideal as an accompaniment to coffee, at the end of a meal or with mid-afternoon tea.
To best preserve their aroma and texture, every pastry is individually wrapped.
Dolci Evasioni Almond Pastries received the Silver Medal ("excellent" product) at the International Taste Awards 2020.

L'Arcolaio brings the authentic taste of Sicily directly to your doorstep. From the tradition of marzipan to carob syrup, they offer a wide selection of high-quality Sicilian products. But L'Arcolaio is much more than an online store; it is a social cooperative with a special mission.
Founded in 2003, this cooperative promotes employment for inmates by managing a productive activity within the Syracuse prison. Over the years, they have developed the registered trademark "Dolci Evasioni," and their products have become known throughout the country through specialized stores in organic products, fair trade shops, and solidarity purchasing groups.
In 2014, with the support of the Val di Noto Community Foundation, the "Frutti degli Iblei" project had been launched, introducing new categories of products such as aromatic herbs, flavored salt, and dried vegetables. With a strong commitment to using organic raw materials and fair trade practices, L'Arcolaio promotes environmental sustainability, cultural diversity, and contributes to the evolution of the prison system through concrete work integration projects.
