Giusto Sapore Sicilian Cannoli Shells - Small - 100 Shells - Imported from Italy and Family Owned Brand

Family loves Cannoli's and around the holiday, we are always making candy, cakes, etc....2 years ago, we tried cannolis and you cannot find big shells anywhere, every store, even the Italian bakery only sold the mini shells, that year we used the mini and the filling we made was awful because we did not strain the ricotta, we skipped 2019 xmas, but beings its 2020 and we've got nothing better to do, we decided to give the cannoli another shot. Was hesitant to buy shells online due to shipping and had pretty low expectations that these would come unbroken. 2 things1. Every shell was fine, not 1 broke, kudos the the mfg to pack these things really well to avoid breaking2. The flavor of these are great48 is a lot for a family of 4 but with xmas coming up, I suspect they will be eaten. The one thing we did notice with the dozen we made for Thanksgiving, they only last about 3 days before the filled shell becomes soggy, we drained the ricotta 24 hours this time with a cheese cloth so the filling came out well. So I would not fill until you are at most 48 hours before you plan to serve them. I plan to store them in airtight bags until xmas rolls in, I don't think freezing is a good idea because of moisture

These mini cannoli shells are out of this world. Important information for Americans: in the USA people have a preference for parties loaded with sugar and / or vanilla and / or cinnamon. That's not the case with these mini cannoli. The flavor is superb and the texture is great, good crunchy consistency and not very crumbly. Everything is so perfect. Just smell them when you receive them.... amazing. I'm not going back to the ones sold at H-E-B for sure. One last thing: the shells came well packaged, not a single one arrived broken.

I’m a 72 yr old Italian American who has lived in Italy many years. These cannoli shells are a huge disappointment. First, they are too thick! Second they are stale. I read many that said these are small they are not. These shells are full size. I usually make the shells myself it’s not hard but I’m in the middle of packing for a move and thought I would take a short cut and just buy the shells. Bad idea, I am throwing these out they are not edible.

Giusto Sapore Sicilian Cannoli Shells have a great flavor to them. They seem a little thick for my taste, but they were a hit. Thirteen did come damaged in packing. Package handlers are not gentle with boxes, I get it. I used the damaged ones for dipping and made a separate tray with the pieces. Nice quality and they were fresh when I received them.

I enjoy entertaining and serve Italian with some regularity so am often looking for an Italian dessert. I love Cannoli, but was not really interested in buying the equipment and learning to make the shells. These are a great shortcut. They are probably not as good at the best homemade, but better than I have had in some restaurants and bakeries - though admittedly not as good as in others. They come in 4 sealed packages of 25. In the first one I opened, not a single one was broken. In the second, two had a small piece broken off, but they were still useable. The "use by" date is still months away, so I don't feel pressured to use the remaining two packages immediately. That was an unexpected plus. I created my filling from a Cannoli Dip recipe I had and love that uses a combination of about 1/3 cream cheese and 2/3 ricotta with some 10x and mini-chocolate chips. They were easy to fill with either a pastry bag or the corner cut off of a plastic storage bag.

I loved the taste of these cannoli shells. A few were broken but that was expected

These shells are authentic and taste great but several arrived broken due to careless packaging.

They cut down the work for making filled cannoli!!’ ❤️
