Situated within the prestigious Ristorante Del Cambio on Turin’s vibrant Piazza Carignano, Farmacia del Cambio transcends the conventional café experience. Under the leadership of the innovative Matteo Baronetto and his adept team, this café doubles as a laboratory of taste, where traditional pastries are reimagined and refined.
Trailblazers in Pastry Innovation
Farmacia del Cambio has carved a niche for itself with groundbreaking pastry creations that blend tradition with modernity. The café initially made headlines with its Crubik, a uniquely cubic-shaped croissant that became a phenomenon. This quirky treat required reservations due to its immense popularity, sparking a national craze and inspiring the #cubecroissant movement across social media platforms.
Introducing La Sfera: A Revolution in Viennoiserie
The newest marvel from Farmacia del Cambio is the Spherical Croissant, affectionately known as "La Sfera." This addition to their viennoiserie collection is the result of relentless innovation, perfected after seven months of meticulous research and development. "La Sfera represents an evolution in our continual pursuit of quality and excellence," the pastry team explains. Its spherical form is not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhances the eating experience by ensuring every bite is uniformly delicious.
Beyond Its Rounded Edges
What makes the Spherical Croissant truly standout is its inventive structure and filling. The seamless shape allows for an even distribution of its rich, gianduia cream filling—a nod to Turin’s storied chocolate and hazelnut legacy. This harmonious blend of flavors and textures makes each pastry a comprehensive sensory delight.
Since its recent introduction, the Spherical Croissant has generated both enthusiasm and anticipation among patrons, who are eager to experience this latest culinary sensation without the lengthy waits seen with previous launches. Offered at 4.50 euros, it is poised to become as beloved and sought-after as the famed Crubik.
A Destination for the Epicurious
Farmacia del Cambio invites both locals and tourists to explore the future of pastries within its historic walls. Whether it's the architectural wonder of the Crubik or the elegant simplicity of La Sfera, visitors are treated to a pioneering approach to pastry making. For those seeking a taste of innovation, Farmacia del Cambio offers more than just food—it presents an immersive exploration of flavor and creativity, transforming the traditional café visit into an extraordinary culinary adventure.
