Spumoni (sg.: spumone) is a molded gelato made with layers of different colors and flavors containing candied fruits and nuts, with the main three flavors being pistachio, cherry, and chocolate (or sometimes vanilla).[1][2][3] Its origins date back to the end of the 19th century in the Italian city of Naples, Campania.[4]
Etymology
[edit]Spumone comes from the Italian word spuma, meaning 'foam'.[2]
In Italy
[edit]The Italian version of spumoni is often lightened with whipped cream.[5] They are usually placed in molds especially made for spumoni, although other molds can be used.[6]
