Pan Ducale Cantuccini Pistacchio & Lemon Biscotti 180g

• The PAN DUCALE company   was founded in  1967  from the strong entrepreneurial skills of  Pasquale D'Amario, the founder,  born in  San Giacomo di Atri (TE) in 1938. After having held various jobs, in 1966 he took over the management of the theater café in the main square of Atri and it is precisely from this bar, in the  heart of the city of Atri , that the story begins:  Mrs  Filomena ,  Pasquale's mother, jealously guarded the recipe for Pan Ducale, a typical dessert of the city whose origins date back to  1352 , the year in which the  Dukes of Acquaviva arrived in Atri. Pasquale D'Amario, with the help of his mother and his wife  Maria Rosaria , a skilled pastry chef, begins to produce the cake: he kneads it in the back room of the bar, takes it to be cooked in the village oven and then sells it in the bar, wraps it by hand. The success of his idea and the goodness of the cake push him to sell the bar to dedicate himself completely to the production of  PAN DUCALE. He buys a piece of land just outside the city walls, builds a small workshop, and begins to sell the sweet outside Atri. Thanks to hard work and a good intuition, the dream comes true: the Pan Ducale, a glorious recipe from the 1300s but now forgotten, returns to being the  sweet symbol of the city of Atri  and Abruzzo .
