Manufacturer History
The Desideri family has been producing confectionery merchants since the early 1900s, when Stefano Desideri - great grandfather to Giacomo and Luca - travelled around the villages in the Tuscan countryside selling delicacies in local fairs and markets, an activity that was eventually replaced by his own production of Cialde di Montecatini wafers. Since that time, the recipes of traditional Tuscan confections have been handed down unchanged from generation to generation. A century later, Giacomo and Luca, who share their grandfather's love of confectionery art and their Tuscan heritage, are pursuing the tradition with the artisanal production of exceptionally wholesome Wafers, Brigidini, and Cantucci biscuits, making the absence of any form of added colourings and preservatives one of the firm's core values.
