This August, Cannoleria will be collaborating with one of Melbourne’s favourite restaurants, MoVida, to create a limited edition flavour of the week that everyone can enjoy at all Cannoleria stores from 23-29 August – the Pedro Ximenez & Raisin Cannoli.
The unique cannoli flavour taps into MoVida owner Frank Camorra’s Spanish roots to play with the flavours of Pedro Ximenez (a wine grape) and raisins. The ultimate play on flavours, the cannoli is a must try and so all Melburnians should mark their diaries to get their hands on this Flavour of the Week collab!
So what is the Pedro Ximenez & Raisin Cannoli?
Cannoleria’s signature crunchy shell is filled with MoVida’s iconic Pedro Ximenez infused raisins in ricotta and garnished with raisin crumble.
“We are so excited to be continuing our collaboration series with MoVida,” said Dario Di Clerico, co-owner and chef at Cannoleria.
“It’s one of our favourite places to eat in Melbourne and so when Frank said he would work with us to create a unique cannoli, I was delighted.
“The flavours in the Pedro Ximenez & Raisin Cannoli are delicious and I think we will have people coming back to enjoy it as much as possible while it’s available!”
Frank Camorra, executive chef and co-owner of MoVida restaurant group “Pedro Ximenez is one of my favourite wines, a sweet Spanish wine from the south of Spain, made with a Pedro Ximenez grape, which is made into a fortified wine.
“In Spain, one of the most classic desserts is a vanilla bean ice cream sprinkled with Pedro Ximenez over the top, so we were inspired by that dish to create this collaboration with Cannoleria. Pedro Ximenex has a sweet, rich raisin flavour, which pairs well with the raisin and ice cream typically, so why not pair it with ricotta instead?
“It’s always a pleasure to work with local businesses that you respect and Cannoleria is a great business with amazing products. We have produced something together that we wouldn’t normally do, so it’s wonderful.”
August’s collaboration with MoVida follow’s Cannoleria’s collab with Mount Zero Olives last month and there are more exciting monthly flavour of the week collabs to come.
