Anise is the ingredient that is never lacking in Abruzzo desserts. Tradition has handed down its use in the dough of donuts, ferratelle and even combined with coffee. La Zunza is an artisanal sweet made with aniseed with genuine products such as eggs, sugar and flour. The term “Zunza” is most likely to be connected to a root of the Arabic language, filtered by the Spanish dialects, which links the word to the concept of nectar. The characteristic flavor is given by the contrast between the sweetness of the dough and the freshness of the anise. Outside, the Zunza is covered with almonds. Excellent to accompany creams, dessert wines and liqueurs.
