Desserts
Traditionally, desserts were made only on holidays, simply because sugar was hard to come by for most poor sheepherders and fishermen in Abruzzo. Therefore, even today, each holiday has its association with a particular type of dessert (the recipes vary from town to town but the general idea is more or less the same usually). Pastry shops now offer a variety of mouth-watering desserts filled with fruits, creams, and chocolate, so many families opt for these on a birthday or for a special treat. However, in every town, the mothers and grandmothers still crank out an abundance of almond cookies and traditional cakes for Carnival, Easter, and especially Christmas; cicciricchiata, bocconotti, taralli, parozzo, and celli ripieni are some typical Abruzzese desserts or Dolci di Abruzzo.
