Sfogliatelle [ sfɔʎʎaˈtɛllɛ ] (from Italian sfoglia = puff pastry , singular sfogliatella ) is an Italian pastry specialty from Naples ( Campania ). The pastry comes from the Santa Rosa monastery near Salerno and in its current form consists of a cone-shaped puff pastry pocket with a sweet ricotta filling with cinnamon and orange blossom aroma. The special thing about the puff pastry bag is that the puff pastry layers do not run parallel like a croissant , but are fanned out. This is achieved through a special preparation of the puff pastry.

In Italy there are two variants of the sfogliatelle, the sfogliatella riccia (from Italian riccio = curly), which is considered the original variant from Naples and has the typical puff pastry ribs , and the sfogliatella frolla , which are made from shortcrust pastry instead of puff pastry and are therefore easier to make. For special occasions and especially in the community of origin, there is also the Santa Rosa variant with a fruit filling. In addition, in the United States of America there is a variation with puff pastry and a filling made of confectionery cream , which there are called lobster tails (from English = lobster tail).
