Cobaita nougat

Cobaita nougat – Handmade in Modica

Cobaita is a crunchy nougat made from sesame seeds, honey, sugar, and almonds. This Sicilian sweet is a harmonious combination of flavors: toasted sesame and caramelized sugar create a deep and rich taste, while almonds and orange peel add a touch of freshness and crunchiness. Also known as Cubbaita, Cubaida or Gghiugghiulena, Cobaita is recognized as a traditional Sicilian agri-food product (PAT) and its aromatic taste and soft texture make it a perfect sweet to enjoy at any time of the day.

Antica Dolceria Bonajuto

Dolceria Bonajuto, active for over 150 years, is the oldest chocolate factory in Sicily and one of the oldest in Italy. Founded in 1880 by Francesco Bonajuto, the artisanal workshop is located in the heart of Modica, a city rich in history and culture. Dolceria Bonajuto is known for its ability to pass down the recipes of Sicilian pastry tradition, enriching them with new interpretations and contaminations, in a perfect mix of ancient and modern. Thanks to its constant search for quality and respect for traditional production techniques, Bonajuto was included in the list of the 100 Italian excellences by Eurispes in 2008. From chocolate to nougats, passing through biscuits and wafers for cannoli, all Bonajuto sweets are handmade every day, in an explosion of flavors and aromas. Cobaita, like all Bonajuto products, is a perfect example of the “Bonajuto style”: a combination of authentic flavors, artisanal care, and passion for confectionery.
