Cuori di Sfogliatella, Naples, Italy

Cuori di Sfogliatella (Heart of Sfogliatella) is a cafe located across the road from the main train station in Naples, Italy. Their speciality is a cake/dessert called "Sfogliatella" - see below for an explanation. As well as "Sfogliatella" they make delicious coffees and they offer a great selection of cakes, pastries, cannolis and icecreams.

Sfogliatella:
A sfogliatella (plural form: sfogliatelle), sometimes called a lobster tail in English, is a shell-shaped filled Italian pastry native to Campania. Sfogliatella means "small, thin leaf/layer", as the pastry's texture resembles stacked leaves.

Production:
The dough is stretched out on a large table or flattened with a pasta maker, then brushed with a fat (butter, lard, shortening, margarine, or a mixture), then rolled into a log (much like a Swiss roll, but with many more layers). Disks are cut from the end, shaped to form pockets, and filled. The pastry is baked until the layers separate, forming the sfogliatella's characteristic ridges.

Recipes for the dough and filling vary. Fillings include orange-flavored ricotta, almond paste and candied peel of citron.

Regional variations"
Sfogliatelle Santa Rosa
In Neapolitan cuisine, there are two kinds of the pastry: "sfogliatella riccia" ("curly"), the "normal" version, and "sfogliatella frolla," a less labor-intensive pastry that uses a shortcrust dough and does not form the sfogliatella's characteristic layers.
