A movement led by a ferratella
January 2025

Ascenzio’s Present’Osa is more than just a made-in-Italy treat; it’s a manifesto that encourages us not to give up and to push beyond our limits.

Throughout history, the Presentosa has taken on various meanings. One of its most surprising and most delicious transformations is the traditional ferratella wafer cookie.

This sweet treat unites two elements

  1. The deep-rooted flavours of Abruzzo’s culinary heritage and
  2. the symbolic richness of the jewel, which represents love, promise, and connection.

Present’Osa draws strength from its origins, honouring, celebrating, and reimagining them: it makes tradition accessible to a global audience without losing its essence.

This project breaks the mould, crafted for anyone ready to share a multi-sensory experience.

Choosing Present’Osa isn’t just about buying a traditional product; it’s about embracing values grounded in tradition, art, culture, beauty, creativity, and passion.

Sometimes, all it takes is a simple ferratella to convey a powerful story.
