PUNTOITALY N°2 - July - December 2012

87 FOOD-AND-DRINK • PASTRY • GELATO BIGATTON The muffin, that well-known American confection, is also now part of Italian culture, and is to be found in lots of points of sale and fast food outlets. Delicious in both the white version enriched with chocolate drops and the black cocoa version with bilberries, it has now established itself as an alternative to the classic Italian brioche. Bigatton promptly decided to create an intriguing semi-finished product that comes in two versions, each with the appropriate flavouring. Used in a white base with a neutral flavour, it produces the taste and classic look of the American muffin; the bits contained in the flavouring create a blend of tastes that appeal to adults and children alike. The product is also recommended for stuffing cakes and semifreddi. The Muffin Bianco (white) kit is composed of 2 3-kg jars of Muffin Bianco paste, 2 3.25- kg pails of Muffin Cioccolato flavouring and 1 1-kg bag of Gocce di Cioccolato (choco- late drops). The Muffin Nero (black) kit is composed of 2 3-kg jars of Muffin Cioccolato paste, 2 3.25-kg pails of Mirtillo (bilberry) flavouring and 1 1.9-kg bag of Wfrutta Mirtillo. INTRIGUING AND TASTY
