Ricciodolce: It is an original and straightforward dessert, created and produced by the Chiodo Company, with fresh chestnuts from the Sila mountains, selected, peeled and cooked with sugar syrup and must (must is an unfermented grape must concentrated through long cooking). Ingredients: Fresh chestnuts from Sila cooked with sugar syrup and concentrated grape must (mostocotto). It is known as a dessert of the mountain people when it is served as a contrast on fresh ricotta.
Marronella: Si tratta di un dessert originale e schietto, ideato e prodotto dalla nostra famiglia, con castagne fresche delle montagne della Sila, selezionate, sbucciate e cotte con sciroppo di zucchero e mostocotto (il mostocotto è un mosto di uva non fermentato concentrato mediante lunga cottura) e successivamente omogeneizzate e pastorizzate in vasi di vetro.
Si usa spalmata su pane, fette biscottate, per farcire panini, torte e crostate, e per decorazioni in pasticceria e gelateria. Può entrare nella preparazione di dolci in sostituzione dello yogurt e come aromatizzante di creme. Diventa insuperabile se servito con ricotta caprina freschissima e formaggi freschi, come usano i pastori.
Sweet and sour figs: It is an original and straightforward dessert, conceived and produced by the Chiodo Company, with fresh figs from the Sila, cooked in sugar syrup and sour vegetable flavouring. Ingredients: Fresh Sila figs, sugar syrup, vegetable flavourings.
