Barbagliata

The origins of the Barbagliata. Ancient Milanese specialty. In 1859 in Piazza della Scala in some old houses that faced the famous Theater, the no less famous "Caffè dei Virtuosi" was built where the impresario Barbaja, the patron of Bellini, created an exquisite type of hot chocolate that soon obtained the favor of all the Milanese elite. Thus was born the Barbajada. This ancient specialty has now returned to be part of the tradition thanks to Moretto who has reproduced and perfected it by applying modern processing techniques.
