Sugared almonds: the 'sweet' tradition of Sulmona
Sulmona, a monumental city in Abruzzo, rich in art and history, is also famous for the goodness of its sugared almonds, which represent excellence in international gastronomy. The sugared almonds, made from the purest sugar and Avola almonds, known as a sweet for good luck, are linked to Sulmona as one of the most important centres in the world, thanks to the great production, craftsmanship of the product and high quality standards that have always been present.
Inextricably linked to the city's tradition since the 15th century, they have also taken on artistic significance over the years. Clusters of flowers, bunches of grapes, puppets and butterflies colour the shop windows and streets of the city: it is the magnificent compositions handcrafted from sugared almonds that attract and welcome the many visitors who come to this charming town every year.
A strong and deep-rooted tradition, therefore, even narrated by a museum in the town, where the history of this typical product can be retraced. A sweet surprise that is one more reason to visit the extraordinary Abruzzo region!!!
