The Tortorici royal pastry is a traditional religious dessert, similar to numerous other variations of hazelnut-based pastries produced by nuns for religious festivals. It has a flat and irregular shape with a bulge in the centre, which according to some is meant to symbolise the mountain of San Pietro which overlooks the town.
