Scarcelle (scarcèdde) — Apulian Easter sweets
Scarcelle are traditional sweets prepared during the Easter festivities.
These sweets consist of a shortcrust pastry base filled with an excellent grape jam.
The surface of the Scarcèdde is decorated with icing, known as giulebbe, on which sugar sprinkles, chocolate eggs or a hard-boiled egg are placed as a symbol of rebirth and fertility.
The preparation of Scarcèdde is a moment of celebration and sharing, often involving the whole family in the making and decorating.
These sweets represent a strong bond with local tradition and culture, celebrating Easter with flavour and creativity.
Scarcèdde are loved for their simplicity and their ability to bring joy and colour to the Easter table, being a true explosion of taste and colour.
