Some history

That of Matilde Vicenzi is the typical Italian story, since it is a family story. All begins in 1905 in San Giovanni Lupatoto, in Verona, where Matilde started to produce a small but exquisite line of pastries, ladyfingers, amaretti and sfogliatine, which recipes are still preserved in the famous Ricettario, or recipe collection, handwritten by Matilde herself.

Matilde’s child, Angelo, and grandchildren – Giuseppe, Mario e Beppina – grew up all passionate about the art of pastry, thanks, obviously, to the woman herself. Particularly thanks to Giuseppe, there is an expansion from artisanal baking operation to small-scale industry. Then, thanks to many years of hard work, in the 1960s the dream was finally fulfilled: Giuseppe eventually industrialized the artisanal manufacturing process, and of course Giuseppe was leading the company. 

From then on, the company has manufactured puff pastry industrially for both the national and the international markets.
