Excellence is born from the meeting of tradition, research, and innovation. This philosophy inspires Acquaviva every day, resulting in products that meet the needs of professionals while never compromising on quality.
We are proud to announce that Sofia has been awarded the prestigious “APEI Approved Product” recognition by the Master Pastry Chefs of the Italian Academy of Pastry Chefs (APEI) during the APEI Technical Seminar, the annual event dedicated to training, knowledge sharing, and the promotion of excellence in Italian pastry.
Sofia is our reinterpretation of the traditional Tuscan Polacca: a straight, more compact croissant designed to enhance its filling. Made with 20% butter and natural sourdough starter, it combines the expertise of traditional artisanal baking with a contemporary approach, delivering a product of outstanding quality and exceptional versatility.
This recognition from the APEI Master Pastry Chefs rewards not only the product’s outstanding characteristics, but also the careful selection of premium ingredients, the attention devoted to every stage of the production process, and our commitment to innovation while preserving the heritage of Italian pastry.
For us, this achievement is an important confirmation of the path we have chosen and a further incentive to continue investing in research, quality, and innovation—values that have been at the heart of Acquaviva for more than 45 years.
