The Cioccafè story begins with Laura Ferruolo, who learned the old Neapolitan confetti craft from her grandfather and in 1970 founded the Confettificio Ferruolo with her husband Felice Basile. For years the workshop made sugared almonds of every kind, and it was there that the Maestro Sor Felice built the experience behind this line.

Coated beans remain the most direct way to serve coffee at the end of a meal without brewing any: the bean is roasted and crunchy, the coating tempers the bitterness. The whole line sits in delights and sugar. More coffee confectionery: Maxtris and Strega Alberti. Shipped from Italy within the next working day.
