MolinerisGianluca and Federica Molineris have been running their craft confectionery in Carmagnola for more than 20 years, always with great attention to food intolerances. The business has expanded over the years and now includes a cafeteria, a catering and cake service for receptions and ceremonies, and the Gelateria Foody, opened in 2019, which offers 22 flavours, ten of which without milk, and six Sicilian granitas.
On display in the modern shop under the arcades in Piazza Sant’Agostino are classic and contemporary petite patisserie, viennoiserie, cookies and individual portions of cakes, some suitable for those intolerant to lactose and eggs. Specialities include hemp santagostini cakes, “sorrisi di Carmagnola” and giandujetta, with sponge cake, hazelnuts, almonds and icing sugar. The latest novelty is the line of realistic fruit with soft blueberry, raspberry, peanut and pistachio centres. Iconic mini-canapés make the most of local delicacies such as bagna caoda and peppers, bacon omelette and leek mousse. Cake design enhances cakes and semifreddi, and cakes from panettone to rum babà are also cooked in glass jars. For Christmas and Easter they make panettone and colomba, some lactose-free, including variations with three types of chocolate or rosemary and chocolate, as well as Carmalanga, a savoury ice with peppers, hazelnuts and raspberries.
