For 5 generations, the history of the Sebaste family has been closely linked to that of the company
A story that
begins in 1885
in Grinzane Cavour
It was Giuseppe Sebaste, born in 1861, an apprentice at a pastry shop in Alba to guess the potential of nougat.
The nougat was at the time a typicality closely linked to the regions of southern Italy.
Almonds, difficult to find in Piedmont, were replaced by Langa hazelnuts: it is the origin of the sfrisà nougat, not hard, but crumbly.
Specialization, capacity for innovation and local roots are the qualities that have allowed the company to successfully open up to the global market in respect of continuity and traditional recipes.
The company is now led by Matteo Rossi Sebaste and mother Egle who trace the company's future in the wake of the continuation of the family tradition of grandparents and great-grandparents.
