Peluso

Peluso

In the picturesque town of Modica, Sicily, Peluso’s story began in 1964 with a small artisan workshop. Rooted in unshakable faith in ancient confectionery traditions and a deep love for Sicily’s flavors, the family-owned business is beloved in Sicily and beyond for their incredible collection of Sicilian cookies, cakes and more. With recipes passed down through three generations of master pastry chefs, Peluso honors both local tradition and time-tested methods.

Made in Sicily

Sicily, with its sun-drenched landscapes, fertile volcanic soil, and centuries-old culinary traditions, serves as the heart and soul of Peluso’s creations. The island is famed for its vibrant citrus groves, flourishing almond orchards, and long history of craftsmanship which culminates in a rich heritage of sweets.

A Taste of Sicilian Heritage

Drawing from ancient Sicilian methods, they select only the finest ingredients, blending them with artisanal techniques to so each sweet achieves the highest standards and best flavor.

A Legacy of Sweet Excellence


Peluso captures a true taste of its Sicilian homeland by sourcing the finest local ingredients, including famed Francofonte oranges, Sicilian pistachios, Mothia salt and more to craft confections that are as authentic as they are delicious. Each of their confections is a testament to the island’s enduring passion for flavor, craftsmanship, and the culture of “dolce vita” – the sweet life. This philosophy of savoring life’s simple pleasures is baked into every sweet, including one of their most cherished - almond paste cookies.


Sicilian almond paste cookies are believed to have originated as early as the 10th century. These delicate confections became a hallmark of Sicilian pastry traditions, celebrated for their soft texture, rich almond flavor, and simple yet refined preparation. The cookies are made with finely ground almonds, sugar, egg whites and sometimes a hint of citrus. With their delicate texture and bold flavors, these cookies encapsulate the joy of sharing sweet moments with loved ones. They are more than merely a dessert — they are an invitation to embrace the rich traditions and vibrant spirit of Sicily this holiday season, whether enjoyed on their own or in a gourmet gift box.
