Verretta

Verretta is a sweet, chocolate-covered wafer cake that has layers of crispy wafers and sweet cocoa cream for a base, and a filling of hazelnuts, wafers, and soft cocoa cream. The arrow embossed on the dessert’s top is a reference to the arrows used by crossbowmen in traditional Sammarinese tournaments in the past, and it is these arrows from which the dessert derives its name. A specialty cake of La Serenissima, verretta is typically enjoyed with a glass of fine dessert wine such as moscato di san marino (San Marino Muscat wine).
