You'll find that Maltese cakes change according to the season. For Christmas we have our Honey Rings, for Carnival there is the Prinjolata and Perlini, during Lent time one can taste the Kwarezimal and for Easter the Figolla. During the hot summer months the nougat is a popular during the village feasts and for all Soul's day we have the Almond Bones.

We use the islands' raw materials whenever possible. Hence we make our macaroons with Gozitan bitter almonds; we use Maltese honey in our Honey Rings and we use dried figs and orange marmalade in our fruit tarts and rolls. From wherever in the world you happen to be coming, you'll find us friendly and welcoming....and probably speaking your language!
