From the 23rd to the 29th of August, or until sold out, all Cannoleria stores will feature the limited edition Pedro Ximenez & Raisin Cannoli as the Flavour of the Week. This unique treat showcases the culinary heritage of MoVida’s owner Frank Camorra, blending the rich notes of Pedro Ximenez, a renowned Spanish wine grape, with succulent raisins to create a delightful dessert experience. So, what exactly is the Pedro Ximenez & Raisin Cannoli? Picture Cannoleria’s signature crunchy shell filled with MoVida’s iconic Pedro Ximenez-infused raisins, combined with smooth ricotta, and topped with a delicious raisin crumble. This thoughtfully crafted cannoli promises to be a must-try for all Melburnians, urging everyone to mark their calendars and indulge in this delectable creation. “We are so excited to be continuing our collaboration series with MoVida,” shared Dario Di Clerico, co-owner and chef at Cannoleria. “It’s one of our favourite places to eat in Melbourne, and when Frank agreed to create a unique cannoli with us, I was absolutely delighted.” Frank Camorra echoed this enthusiasm, expressing his fondness for Pedro Ximenez. “In Spain, one of the most classic desserts is a vanilla bean ice cream sprinkled with Pedro Ximenez, which inspired this collaboration. The sweet, rich raisin flavour pairs perfectly with ricotta, making this cannoli an exceptional treat.” Following the successful collaboration with Mount Zero Olives last month, this partnership with MoVida signals more exciting flavour combinations to come… Read More

2 places to go for the best Italian and Greek desserts in Melbourne

by James Banham

Updated: 16/11/2022

Australia’s prized Mediterranean heritage comes fully into into its own category of awesomeness when you turn your gaze to the food. From the roadside delis of Oakleigh to the gastronomy of the CBD and the full-on production houses of the northern suburbs, there’s no surprise Greek, Italian and Mediterranean food is right up there on Melburnians’ list of ‘must-eats’. But, what about dessert? For those more sugar-inclined, there’s never a reason to overlook the desserts from that region of the world and thankfully, Lukumades (Greek) and Cannoleria (Italian) are filling the gap. Lukumades is – as the name suggests – known for their traditional Greek doughnuts, vehicles for all the sauces and toppings your heart could desire. In fact, they’re so desired that Lukumades has just opened five shops in Indonesia on top of their outlets in Melbourne. They can’t get enough and it’s easy to see why – they’ve taken the traditional lukumade recipe, which is normally served with honey syrup and crushed walnuts, and Australianised it. They look incredible. And if it’s something with a bit more crunch you’re after, that’s where the Italians step in, with their little pockets of deliciousness: the cannoli. The Melburnian Cannoleria was created in 2018 by That’s Amore Cheese; the brand specialises in the traditional Sicilian dessert where the delicate tubes of golden, crunchy pastry are filled fresh daily with That’s Amore Ricotta. We’re getting excited about them again, because on top of their usual quality array of desserts, they’re producing some themed ones for those die-hard… Read More
