Scarpato

The art of naturally leavened Italian pastry since 1888

The art of naturally leavened Italian pastry since 1888

For more than a century, Scarpato has preserved the rich pastry tradition of Verona
through the creation of naturally leavened specialties that embody patience, craftsmanship, and Italian excellence.

Built on generations of family expertise, the house combines time-honored techniques with a continuous pursuit of quality, creating baked specialties distinguished by exceptional lightness, fragrance, and softness.

Time as the essential ingredient

Time as the essential ingredient

Every Scarpato creation begins long before it reaches the oven.

Its signature three-dough process unfolds over more than 72 hours, allowing the dough to develop remarkable texture, aroma, and depth of flavor. Guided by time rather than speed, this meticulous approach reflects the philosophy that exceptional pastry cannot be rushed.

A living tradition

A living tradition

At the heart of every Scarpato specialty lies the house's precious lievito madre (natural sourdough starter), carefully preserved and refreshed every day for over a century.

Combined with selected flours, premium butter, Italian almonds, Sicilian candied citrus, and carefully chosen ingredients, this living heritage gives each creation its unmistakable character while preserving the authenticity of traditional Veronese pastry.

Craftsmanship passed through generations
