Bertolini & Figli

Una Vita Piena di Dolcezza (A Life Full of Sweetness)

Bertolini & Figli is a family-run pastry and confectionery company based in Cologna Veneta, the small Veneto town famous for its traditional mandorlato. Founded by Giovanni Fausto Bertolini in the early 1980s, the company grew from a modest workshop created inside the family home into one of the region’s most respected producers of artisanal sweets. Inspired after stepping into a pastry laboratory for the first time, Fausto devoted himself completely to mastering the craft, eventually building the business alongside his wife Patrizia and their children, who continue the family tradition today.

At the heart of Bertolini & Figli’s production is its renowned Finissimo Mandorlato, the company’s most celebrated specialty. Made according to the historic traditions of Cologna Veneta with more than 80% toasted almonds, acacia honey, egg whites, and sugar, the confection is prized for its delicate flavor, extraordinarily high almond content, and signature shattering crunch.

Quality ingredients, artisanal production, and a constant desire to learn and improve continue to define the company’s philosophy. Every product is carefully handcrafted and personally overseen step by step, preserving the authenticity and excellence of traditional Italian pastry-making.

“For our products, we use only the finest raw ingredients. Each one is expertly crafted to bring out its full flavor while preserving its organoleptic qualities. This utmost attention to quality allows us to work with peace of mind, knowing that we offer our customers products of true Italian artisanal excellence.” — Fausto Bertolini
