In Italy, 𝐙𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐢 𝐒𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞 are prepared in honor of Festa del Papà, celebrated on 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝟗, the feast day of Saint Joseph, when they are sold on the streets and sometimes presented as gifts.
According to tradition, these light fried pastries - topped with pastry cream (crema pasticcera) and finished with a sour cherry (amarena) and powdered sugar - honor the humble, nourishing foods associated with Saint Joseph, the patron saint of fathers and workers.
Throughout southern Italy, bakeries and home bakers prepare zeppole as a sweet gesture of gratitude for all fathers, turning the pastry into both a festive treat and a symbolic offering that celebrates family, generosity, and the quiet dignity embodied by Saint Joseph.
𝐀𝟏𝟔 𝐒𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨, 𝐎𝐚𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 and 𝐍𝐚𝐩𝐚 will feature Zeppole di San Giuseppe on Thursday’s menus - and they will be available at 𝐀𝟏𝟔 𝐋𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚 in the Ferry Building on Thursday morning ☕️
