Prato Peaches
Prato Peaches are an authentic delight of Prato pastry making, loved by generations of gourmands. This classic dessert is made up of two hemispheres of brioche dough, which enclose a delicious heart of custard. But what makes the peaches truly special is the syrup that surrounds them, made up of alkermes, water and sugar. This combination of flavors and textures creates a unique sensory experience.
Prato Peaches have a fascinating history that dates back to 1861. During a sumptuous dinner organized by the Prato patriots to celebrate the Unification of Italy, these sweet delights were served at the Contrucci inn in the Cathedral square. Since then, they have become a symbol of Prato's culinary tradition and are loved by both locals and visitors.
