Bergamot Babà

Bergamot babà cooked in a jar is a delicious twist on the classic Neapolitan dessert, enhanced with the distinctive, refreshing aroma of Reggio Calabria bergamot. Made with care and craftsmanship, this babà is wonderfully soft and fluffy, melting delicately in your mouth for a truly unique tasting experience.
Vasocottura—a slow, controlled cooking technique in a sealed glass jar—allows the babà to gradually absorb the flavours and aromas of bergamot, creating the perfect match between sweetness and citrus freshness. The dessert’s tenderness and moisture are guaranteed by the jar’s airtight seal during baking, which traps the steam inside and keeps the babà incredibly juicy.
Every bite of this bergamot babà is an explosion of flavour, with harmonious citrus notes throughout. Served chilled and perhaps paired with a light bergamot cream or a dusting of icing sugar, it’s a refined dessert to enjoy on any occasion—ideal for ending a meal with a touch of Mediterranean freshness.

How to serve
Vasocottura is a technique with quite ancient origins: as the name suggests, it lets you cook directly in glass jars, much like our grandmothers did when preparing preserves. This method offers many advantages: there is no loss of nutrients (making it a healthy cooking approach), and flavours and aromas remain sealed inside the jar. Combined with high-quality ingredients, it enhances the taste and delights the senses. To enjoy our babà at its best, turn the jar upside down and place it in the fridge 15 minutes before serving.
