Savoiardi Ladyfinger (400g) – DIVELLA

Originating from the Piedmont region of Italy, Savoiardi have been a beloved treat for centuries. These biscuits were first created in the 15th century in the Royal Court of Savoy, and their name reflects the tradition of being served to royalty, as “Savoiardi” means “of Savoy.”

Ladyfingers are known for their finger-like shape, which makes them perfect for layering in desserts. These biscuits were originally made without leavening agents, relying on air for their light and crisp texture. Today, Savoiardi are made from a blend of simple ingredients—flour, sugar, and egg whites—that results in a delicate, sponge-like consistency.

In addition to being a key ingredient in Tiramisu, Savoiardi Ladyfingers are also used in layered cakes, trifles, and other desserts where their absorbent nature can shine.
