Chocolate Mustaccere

“The chocolate-glazed treat with a soft cocoa heart.”

Apulian chocolate mostaccioli, a Salento baked treat: a soft cocoa heart with cinnamon and cloves, wrapped in a crunchy chocolate glaze.

From Puglia Artisan bakery 200 g

Mustaccere, also known as chocolate mostaccioli, are a traditional baked treat from Puglia, typical of Salento: under their crunchy chocolate glaze hides a soft cocoa heart, with a touch of cinnamon, cloves and lemon. They're made with simple ingredients — the kind found in every Apulian pantry — and are never missing, not just during the holidays.

Their name tells an old story: it comes from "mustazzo", meaning must (cooked grape juice), because these biscuits were once made with cooked must instead of sugar — a practice also reflected in their other name, "mustaccere", which gave them a distinctive flavour and natural sweetness.
