You’ve probably wondered while scrolling through our site or social feeds: “What makes Present’Osa so special?”
After all, it’s just a ferratella – a humble Italian waffle cookie – and we’ve even adapted the recipe to make it cruelty-free.
More than a ferratella wafer cookie
Baked fresh to order, crafted by the careful hands of the women in a small Abruzzese bakery dedicated solely to traditional desserts and treats, it arrives as a golden treasure, it arrives as a golden treasure. Open the box, and the sweet scent of anise fills your home, a little burst of Italy that lifts your spirit.
It’s a bite of Abruzzo, one of Italy’s wildest, most untamed regions. A land of mountains, coastlines, shepherds, and rebels, known for its warmth, its passion, and its resilience. It’s the land where traditions are still alive, where feasts overflow with food, music, and love. Where every nonna greets you with: “Have you eaten? Do you want a coffee? Shall I make you a snack?”
But there’s more…
Carries the story of a promise
The name recalls the Presentosa, an ancient Abruzzese jewel once given as a wedding gift, symbolizing love, commitment, and the promise of a life together. The ferratella itself is shaped with a special iron mould, traditionally gifted to a bride at her wedding, making every cookie a small, edible heirloom. It’s a present in every sense: a gift, the present moment, and a celebration of now.
And the name? Osare in Italian means to dare, to go beyond.
Present’Osa isn’t just about tradition: it’s about pushing limits and daring to innovate while honouring roots. It stands for inclusivity, diversity, and respect, for people, animals, and the planet. It breaks the rules when needed, improves constantly, and never settles.
Present’Osa is bold, it’s free, it’s fierce
Forged by fire, and shaped by tradition, Present’Osa is proudly Italian, a piece of Abruzzo’s brave heart, its passion, its strength. It’s more than a ferratella. It’s a revolution in a wafer cookie.
Present’Osa: a jewel, a promise, a gift and a taste of what it means to go beyond.
“Dare to act, love to share.”
There’s a world to discover after every bite. Keep on scrolling and eating to learn more!
