Traditional Venetian Desserts

Venetian desserts were created to highlight simple ingredients from rural and lagoon traditions, transformed with skill and patience into extraordinary recipes. Among the most loved is the Venetian Focaccia, also known as fugassa, fugassin, or fugassa veneta: a soft dough, fragrant with butter and citrus, with a golden dome and a lightly sugared surface. It is the typical Venetian dessert that never misses the table during traditional Venetian Christmas sweets, yet it is enjoyed all year round for its soft texture and balanced flavor.

Alongside it, we find Sbrisolona with almonds, crumbly and rustic, a symbol of the most authentic Venetian desserts: it is broken by hand, releasing the aroma of dried fruit and country tradition. Smaller but just as iconic are the Venetian focaccine, a compact version of focaccia, perfect to enjoy at any time of day. Together with the classics of Venetian Carnival sweets, these traditional Venetian products represent the sweet soul of the lagoon, where every recipe is connected to celebrations, seasons, and moments of sharing.
