Freddi’s Italian Roll Cake with Hazelnut Cream combines soft and fluffy cocoa-flavored sponge cake with rich and nutty hazelnut cream filling. The cake is covered with lines of cocoa icing, adding a little crunchiness to the texture. The flavor profile falls on the sweeter side.
Italian desserts are well-known and loved for their delectable textures and flavors.

Freddi’s story begins in 1949 in Castiglione Stiviere, a small town in the Lombardy region. Luigi Freddi opened his bakery in the old town, initially concentrating on commercial sales. Luigi personally delivered freshly baked cakes to hotels, shops, and even other pastry-makers. In just a decade, the demand for his high-quality pastries grew so much that the bakery transformed into an industrial plant. In 1969, a newer, bigger Freddi plant was opened and equipped with one of Italy’s first automatic snack packaging lines. In 1979, Freddi moved into the international market, with France, Germany, Spain, and the Middle East becoming the first countries outside Italy to enjoy gourmet cakes.

Freddi’s Italian Roll Cake with Hazelnut Cream is best enjoyed chilled (keep it in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes before serving). The cake’s nutty flavor pairs well with most beverages, but it’s best with unsweetened coffee, tea, and milk that can cut through the sweetness.
