Sal de Riso's laboratory in Tramonti: what sets it apart
Sal de Riso is born in Tramonti, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, and builds its identity on territorial ingredients: Limone Costa d'Amalfi IGP, Italian acacia honey, selected almonds and hazelnuts. Processing takes place entirely in the Tramonti laboratory, without preservatives, using recipes linked to traditional Campanian pastry-making.
At the L'Arcolaio store in Pignataro Interamna — 5,000 m² just minutes from the Cassino motorway exit on the A1 — a representative range of Sal de Riso is offered for festive seasons: chocolate confectionery and biscuits available year-round, alongside seasonal leavened products for Christmas and Easter.

How to choose
For Christmas or a corporate gift: from October-November the 1 kg panettone is the most suitable format. If you want a flavour directly linked to the territory, the Panettone Limoncello with Limone Costa d'Amalfi IGP is the most recognisable choice. For those preferring something more neutral, the Classic Milanese or Mandorlato suit all palates. Before the seasonal launch, White Chocolate Ceramics are the gift available immediately, suitable in any period.
For a compact gift: spiced S di Miele biscuits (300 g), Baci Amalfitani with limoncello (200 g) or Friollini di Dama (200 g) are practical formats to carry even as a last-minute gift.
For ceremonies (wedding, christening, communion, confirmation): White Chocolate Ceramics (10×10 cm) are the most suitable product as a wedding favour or place card: standard format, careful packaging, available year-round. To complement the ceremony table, you can pair them with cake stands and cake risers available in the L'Arcolaio catalogue.
For Easter: the Easter Dove Ricotta and Pears (1 kg) is the substantial gift. The Milk Chocolate and Gianduja Egg (75 g) is the compact format for children or a light gift.
For everyday breakfast: Spiced S di Miele biscuits are the most versatile product, available year-round without ties to a specific occasion.
Frequently asked questions about Sal de Riso
Where are Sal de Riso sweets produced?
All products are made in the Tramonti laboratory, in the province of Salerno, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. Territorial ingredients include Limone Costa d'Amalfi IGP and Italian acacia honey.
Do Sal de Riso products contain preservatives?
No. Production in the Tramonti laboratory excludes the use of preservatives. For proper storage: chocolate confectionery and biscuits should be kept in a cool and dry place; spiced biscuits keep better in a closed container. For leavened products (panettone and dove cake), follow the instructions on the packaging.
When do Sal de Riso panettones arrive in the catalogue?
Panettones are available from October-November and remain in the catalogue until stock runs out. Availability varies each season: it's advisable to order in advance to find your preferred variant. For information on availability or pre-orders, contact the Pignataro Interamna store.
What is the difference between White Chocolate Ceramics and those with Easter Decoration?
White Chocolate Ceramics feature designs inspired by Vietri sul Mare majolica and are available year-round. The Easter Decoration version (Chocolate Ceramics Assorted 10×10 cm Easter Decoration) follows the same shape and format with seasonal subjects and is produced in limited quantity for Easter only. These are two distinct SKUs in the catalogue.
Can White Chocolate Ceramics be used as wedding favours for ceremonies?
Yes. The 10×10 cm format (90 g) is suitable as a wedding favour or place card for weddings, christenings, communions and confirmations. They are available year-round and the packaging is ready to be given. To pair them with risers or table accessories for ceremonies, check out our cake stands and cake risers.
