The <strong>struffoli<\/strong>, for example, are perfectly enjoyed as an after-dinner dessert or snack, arranged in a \"mountain\" shape on a large plate to create a dramatic effect. I <strong>rococo<\/strong> and the <strong>mostaccioli<\/strong>, crisp and spicy, beautifully accompany sweet wines or liqueurs, while the <strong>susamielli<\/strong> can be served for breakfast or with a cup of coffee after Christmas lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each dessert allows for small variations: honey in struffoli may be more abundant or mixed with chocolate chips, mostaccioli may have extra spices, and susamielli may be flavored with orange or lemon peel. Families often pass down personalized recipes, creating modern or lighter versions of these classics without losing the link to tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making these sweets means bringing a piece of Italian history and culture to the table. Whether they are <strong>struffoli, roccoc\u00f2, mostaccioli, susamielli<\/strong> o <strong>pandoro<\/strong>, each cake tells of tradition, scents of spices and the warm atmosphere of Christmas. Perfect for sharing with friends and family, they make the holidays even sweeter and more unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas is the perfect time to bring sweets to the table that combine taste, tradition...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":55280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"locations":[232,193,187,167,208,217,244],"class_list":["post-55279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sapori-tipici","locations-avellino","locations-bacoli","locations-benevento","locations-campania","locations-napoli","locations-pozzuoli","locations-salerno"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55279"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55283,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55279\/revisions\/55283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55279"},{"taxonomy":"locations","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/movery.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/locations?post=55279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
