Closing lunch and dinner with the sporcamuss
Sporcamuss ” , which in the Bari dialect means “dirty muzzles”, are those sweets that are impossible to say no to.
These are simple puff pastry filled with cream and dusted with powdered sugar; as simple as they are delicious, they're usually served at the end of a lunch or dinner.
In Bari they are now a tradition, and there are many restaurants that offer them on their menus.
The ultimate apotheosis, however, is reached when these desserts are served hot; the warm cream in fact adds further value to the sporcamuss… but it's also a matter of taste 😉
The tradition of making "sporcamuss" is deeply rooted in Apulian culture, and every local pastry shop has its own special, personalized version. It's a dessert often eaten during holidays and special occasions, but it's available year-round in Bari's pastry shops and, as mentioned above, in the finest restaurants and trattorias.
Savoring a "sporcamuss" is like taking a journey into the heart of Puglia. It's a delicious way to immerse yourself in Bari's culinary culture and savor one of its most precious gastronomic treasures. So, when you visit Bari, be sure to try this authentic dessert .
