We are Fratelli Costa. Since 1973, in Piedimonte Etneo, we have made our dough without ready-made mixes and watched over every rise.

Snow-capped Mount Etna seen from the countryside

A family bakery in Piedimonte Etneo, since 1973

We started out as a bread bakery, on the side of Etna that looks out to sea. From bread we moved on to sweets and never looked back: today Costa is a 900-square-metre bakery, plus the warehouse, where our leavened cakes are still made without ready-made mixes.

We handle the nuts ourselves, from selection to roasting and grinding. The creams we make from them fill our leavened cakes and our jars.

We export to Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, Malta, the Netherlands

Our story The company today

Special EditionThe box is painted by hand

Three Sicilian scenes, painted and then printed on the pack. Inside are our panettoni; outside, a piece that shops put in the window and that nobody throws away at home.

Box painted with a citrus grove, Moor’s head vases and a smoking Mount Etna — **Pistacchioso**The path through the citrus trees, the Moor’s heads, Etna smoking.

Box painted with lemons and a sunset over the sea — **Lemons**A branch heavy with fruit, the sun setting over the sea.

Box painted with a vine and bunches of grapes — **Three grapes**The vine, the bunches, the vineyard on the hill.
