A traditional treat found everywhere on the island of Sicily; from street stalls and local bars, to gracing a breakfast table by the beach ready to soak up freshly brewed coffee or indulged as a cool summer snack sunk in a light, nutty and refreshing almond granita.
Originally called “Brioscia Col Tuppo”, the name is derived from the Sicilian dialect meaning bun, inspired by the fashionable traditional way Sicilian women style their hair into a low bun visually represented by the distinguishable chignon on this fluffy brioche bun. The “tuppo” is considered the highlight, with it almost immediately being pulled to soak in granita or gelato when served.
Don’t forget to ask when you visit Grazia Gelato & Coffee for the “Brioche Col Tuppo con Gelato”, an authentic re-imagination of this traditional treat and have our freshly baked fluffy brioche buns filled with your favourite homemade artisanal gelato flavours for a heavenly combination!
