Pinuccio, the dessert in honor of Pino Daniele

“Appucucundria me scoppie ogn minut mpiett”

These are precisely the feelings that every Neapolitan, but in reality every lover of good music, who thinks back to Pino Daniele and his untimely death, feels in his state of mind. Appucundria to tell Pino Daniele is the expression that indicates that strong melancholy, dictated by the absence of those who love. And to us Pino Daniele really misses so much.

To celebrate this great artist there are many initiatives that are carried out in the city like flash mobs, concerts in which his songs are sung, paintings, photographic exhibitions and much more are done, but even the kitchen does not remain to watch and make the his part.

A concrete example comes from the great art of Neapolitan pastry signed Gran Caffè Gambrinus, which has decided to pay homage to this great artist, pride and symbol of our city, creating the sweet Pinuccio.

In fact, starting from 2016, the coffee laboratories in Piazza Trieste and Trento decided to make a dough with a strong flavor that reminded this great artist. The dough is composed of a base of curly sfogliatella, with white chocolate, cream, ricotta chease, sponge cake and a dark chocolate coating, a dessert called “Black in half”, just like the musical genre of Pino Daniele, who remembered a bit of blues. A triumph of taste to try.

A dessert for everyone

Produced for the occasion of January 4 (the day of the terrible death of the artist), this year was distributed free, on the occasion of an event designed to commemorate the disappearance of this great Neapolitan singer-songwriter. Donated to everyone just like the music of Pino Daniele who was able to make a large audience agree, the pinuccio has had a great outcry but above all great culinary consensus.

The sweets you know, have the ability to cheer up, as they can increase the production of serotonin in humans that has a calming and anti-stress effect. For this reason we like to think that the sweet pinuccio, in its own way, is able to appease even for a few minutes that sort of appucundria that has been pervading us for three years, dictated by the lack of our great friend Pino Daniele.[:]
