Handmade

On the hills of Verucchio, inside Fugar premises, there is a production department which recalls both for the tradition and for creative style, an ancient confectionery of twenteh century.

lt is our "torronificio" (place for the production of nougat), where the key players are the copper cauldrons heated by fire, the most suitable machines for almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts and pistachios coating, fruits to which they confer appropriate characteristics for high quality pastry preparations.

We produce small batches daily made. For a pastry or ice cream maker it is extremely important to receive such products a few days later their preparation, so they can preserve their typical taste, crunchiness and flavouring. In fact dry fruits can easily turn rancid.

Fugar can count on the experience of two confectioners who have been working in the department for years, calibrating the fruits and, stirring with the wood paddles, regulating the crunchy coating generated from liquid sugars.
Some seeds like those of flax, pumpkin and sunflower have to be coated in sugar with a technique called "stancheggiatura", which consists in quickly removing them from the incandescent walls of the basins to allow the formation of a fine, light coating of sugar, like a thin layer of crunchiness.
The world of confectionery asks for more and more roasted foods that crunch under the teeth, giving a pleasant sensation of freshness and lengthen the perception of taste.

Fugar, as usual, guarantees a selection of fruits without compromises. We accept only those that meet strict criteria of organoleptic and microbiological analysis and that have passed rigorous laboratory diagnostics tests for aflatoxins detection.

With Fugar you can enjoy the goodness of sweets with the guarantee of food safety.
