“Cannoli are a Sicilian classic dating as far back as the 13th century. As is the case with Italian cuisine in general, the key is quality ingredients. Real Luxardo cherries, quality mascarpone, and true vanilla bean with Luxardo Amaro elevate the texture and flavor of this staple dessert. Pair with Sicilia Grappa or a good Tawny Port.”
