Schiacciata alla Fiorentina Classica
This one is very different from the best I've tasted so far — it's very fluffy, not sweet inside, and the sugar on top balances it perfectly. I really like the flavor. It's incredibly soft, it just melts in your mouth. Good.
Schiacciata alla Fiorentina con Crema Chantilly
With cream it's another thing. The cream is very good, not sweet — for me that's important, it's not overly sweet, so it's delicious. But I have to say, here you don't taste the orange much.
