The story
Lo Zabaione di Simonetta originates from the domestic experience of Simonetta Vinci, who prepared the family's egg cream for more than fifty years. The transition to commercial production took place in early 2021: Simonetta's recipe was adapted into a packaged product while retaining its artisanal and family character. Production is entrusted to Distilleria Zeltico of Cento (FE).
Production philosophy
To showcase a traditional homemade recipe by focusing on simple ingredients and careful technique to obtain an authentic egg cream liqueur meant to be shared on convivial occasions.
Territory
Produced in Emilia-Romagna (bottled in Cento, province of Ferrara); recipe with Italian family origins.
Production method
Preparation is based on the slow, careful emulsification of the yolks with sugar until a soft, creamy consistency is achieved; the recipe includes dry Marsala and vanilla for flavoring. Commercial production is carried out by an artisanal laboratory (Distilleria Zeltico) that follows the recipe while preserving its characteristics; stabilizers used include food thickeners (e.g., xanthan gum).
