The secret to the successful preparation of this product lies in the cooking of the sugar, which must be caramelized at 180°C, then mixed with an equal amount of peeled and chopped almonds while still hot, and always hot, it must be leveled with a rolling pin and shaped as desired. The climatic component is important for the preservation of this product, as caramel has only one great enemy: humidity, which is not present in Frignano. Thanks to the cold and dry climate of this corner of the Modenese Apennines, ancient traditions are kept alive over time.
