The cornetto - the Italian croissant is the common breakfast accompaniment to your preferred Italian coffee option; whether Cappuccino or Espresso. And as we know to start the day on the "right foot" it is necessary to have a delicious breakfast - whether in your preferred bar, café or at home.
Empty, filled with chocolate, cream, Nutella, jam and so on, the cornetto represent the classic Neapolitan and Campania breakfast, but also the Italian breakfast in general. There are variations of fillings ranging from the one with most calories (cream and Nutella, Nutella and pistachio and various combinations of creams), to the lightest (honey or jam without sugar).
