Pasticceria Marcolini
Margheritine cookies were first baked in Stresa for Margherita of Savoy in 1857 while she was still a princess. Named for the first queen of Italy as well as for their decoration like a daisy (margherita in Italian), the biscuits' recipe includes cooked egg yolk and an abundant supply of powdered sugar, making them crumble effortlessly in your mouth. Marcolini began crafting Margheritine cookies in 1959 along with a small selection of other sweets and savory baked goods.
