Tenerina is an ancient traditional cake in Ferrara. A legend tells that king Vittorio Emanuele III created this cake for his wife, Elena Petrovich from Montenegro. The new cake was expected to express Elena’s strong character – with a golden crust – as well as her sweetness, with a tender chocolate heart.
Our tenerina is still manufactured in Ferrara by Rizzati, the finest master chocolatier in town.
