Jelly peaches with amaretto

Peaches with Amaretto are a popular dessert not only in Italy, but also in this country. No wonder, the fruity flavors of fully ripe peaches harmonize splendidly with the slightly bitter almond accents of amaretto. Leone has created a jelly fruit version of it, prepared with peach puree and chocolate, flavored with bitter almond extract and gelled with fruit pectins. These jelly peaches have a harmonious taste and are pleasantly soft to the bite. Supplied in a beautiful reusable tin with viewing window.

In 1857, Luigi Leone opened a shop in Alba, Piedmont, selling his delicious sweets, pastilles and candies made from fresh, natural ingredients. In 1861, he moved his business to Turin. Even in this city justifiably bearing the title “confectionery capital of Italy” thanks to numerous cafés, patisseries and confectioneries, he stood out. So much so that by the beginning of the 20th century, “Leone” had progressed beyond being just a brand name. “Marca Leone!” was rather a common exclamation in Turin, denoting things made with excelling handicraft and of undoubtedly the highest quality. A reputation Leone enjoys to this day, and a claim that the family business still follows: by sticking to the long-tested and handed-down recipes, thus preserving the culinary heritage of its homeland.
