Easter is fast approaching... Easter means chocolate but not only...
In Corsica, we also eat caccavelli. We'll give you our favourite addresses to fill your basket for the merendella Easter Monday [picnic]...
Camedda House
"Only the real thing, only the good thing"
This is the motto of the two sisters who run the Maison Camedda biscuit factory. Camedda was their grandmother. The one who passed on their passion for pastry-making. To this can be added the experience they have acquired with the great names in pastry-making.
Delizii are their trademark. They are canistrelli (traditional dry biscuits) with a unique recipe. On the packets you will see a number, it is the number of the recipe validated after multiple tests...
In their shop, they prepare a different pastry every day. It is also possible (and highly recommended) to reserve it on their website as there will not be enough for everyone!
On the occasion of Easter, Maison Camedda offers caccavelli, the traditional Corsican Easter cake.
Ferrero House
Holiday weekends are often a time to enjoy meals with family and/or friends. Visit the Maison Ferrerogrocery shop to find quality products to complement your meal. From appetizers to desserts, wine and liqueurs, don't hesitate to ask for advice.
No time to shop? The grocery shop takes care of everything, you just have to place an order and choose between the drive or the delivery.
And for those who have had the opportunity to taste their products during their stay in Ajaccio, extend the tasting on your return from holiday thanks to their shipping service.
It's hard to find an excuse not to go there...
Colomb Bereni Chocolate Factory
Located in the Ajaccio hinterland, this artisanal company offers no less than 100 chocolate sweets made without preservatives. Tradition, know-how and creativity are the ingredients favoured by Josiane and Lionel. The chocolate makers have been medals at the International Chocolate Awards on several occasions.
In addition to making chocolates, they also have a range of cakes and pastries that will enhance your ceremonies (weddings, christenings, etc.).
As you can see, Easter is just one of our many excuses to justify our greed... And as we know we are not the only ones, we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
NB: For those who want to have Easter eggs without the calories, we invite you to play our game iPasks. In addition you will visit Ajaccio in a playful way, ideal with children 😉
