The Marchesi di Voghera workshop is a place where confectionery traditions meet innovation, offering customers a variety of unique delicacies made with high quality ingredients and refined attention to detail.
Marchesi di Voghera is a cosy artisan pastry workshop that saw the light in 2018 thanks to the immense passion for sweets of its founder, Laura Marchesi. With dedication and creativity, Laura has given life to this small culinary treasure, where every delicacy is created with love and craftsmanship.
Since childhood, the women in her family have passed on to Laura a deep passion for pastry, cooking and the culinary traditions of the region. Even today, she is deeply attached to the Oltrepò Pavese and its extraordinary excellence.
To prove what has just been said, Laura does not use any kind of semi-processed products in her workshop and most of the raw materials come from companies located a few kilometres from Voghera.
The productions of this pastry shop are of all kinds and vary according to the needs of all palates, from traditional recipes to more innovative ones, up to ad hoc creations based on the tastes and desires of customers.
One of the most renowned inventions is the ‘Riscotto‘, which in January 2019 allowed the Marchesi pastry shop in Voghera to receive the European Award for Women‘s Enterprises from the Women‘s States-General in Matera.
Riscotto was born in 2018 and is n salty biscuit for aperitifs. Its creation stems from Laura‘s desire to make a product strongly linked to the territory. From there, she thought of the pepper and the dish that best represents it: risotto alla vogherese. Initially, it seemed an arduous task to transform this dish into a pastry creation, but Laura succeeded and from the risotto was born the savoury biscuit that took the name ‘Riscotto‘.
The Marchesi pastry shop in Voghera will be present at the ‘50 Shades of Pinot Noir‘ event where it will be possible to taste this innovative creation in the shape of a grain of rice, the ‘Riscotto‘.
