E Fritelle, family cookie factory in Calenzana
E Fritelle is a family-run cookie factory that has been based in Calenzana for over 40 years. It's in this Balagne village, renowned for its delicious Corsican cujuelle and fritelle, that Rodolphe Perrin and his team now make authentic Calenzana cookies, continuing the work begun by his father Christian Perrin in 1984.
A Corsican cookie from Balagne, cujuelle are light, crunchy Corsican dry cakes to enjoy with coffee or to satisfy a small hunger, while fritelle are typical Corsican doughnuts.
The E Fritelle boutique offers a range of traditional Corsican cookies that will delight your taste buds. These light, portable cookies will give you a boost of energy if you set off on the GR20, just 350 meters from the store.
E Fritelle store in Calvi
Since 2019, E Fritelle has had an additional boutique in Calvi in Rue Clémenceau. It is open during the high season from April 1 to October 31. The store has its own production workshop.
You'll find all the Calenzana cookies for the sweet side, but also savory cookies and brocciu doughnuts available in the store only.
Since the end of 2020, E Fritelle cookies have also been available online at Brin de Corse, at the top of the page.
In partnership with the Calenzana basket-maker, you'll find baskets of hand-made E Fritelle cookies, available to buy directly in the store.
Cujuelle and fritelle: the house specialties
The E Fritelle artisanal cookie factory operates throughout the entire production chain, which is carried out by hand without the use of electric machinery. The dough is rolled out with a roller, then cut with a roulette wheel, all the way through to bagging, everything is done by hand.
The boutique opens onto the workshop, where you can see the whole team at work.
Sweet dry cookies
The range of sweet cookies is constantly expanding, with :
- Cujuelle de Calenzana
- Frappe or Fritelle - Corsican doughnuts
- Cookies: hazelnut, almond, chocolate, honey, lemon, orange
- Chestnut flour fondants
- Canistrelli corses plain or with aniseed
Savory cookies for aperitif
The range of salted cookies for aperitifs now includes 4 flavors:
- Salted onion cookies
- Salted olive cookies
- Salted cheese cookies
- Savory cookies with maquis herbs (New, released in 2022)
Among the cookie factory's specialties are fritelle à l'essence d'orange, sweet little doughnuts, and cujuelle au vin blanc, a local delicacy made without eggs or milk. Then there are the traditional canistrelli, either plain or with aniseed, this time containing milk and eggs. Each cookie is made with a different dough and specific ingredients.
E Fritelle uses quality raw materials such as Popolasca honey and PDO chestnut flour.
The cookies come in a range of flavors, with something for everyone: lemon, almond, hazelnut, raisin, chocolate chip, orange, honey and chestnut flour, not to mention savory cookies with Corsican cheese, olives or onions.
What's the difference between canistrelli and cuggiulelle?
Canistrelli are crunchy, often flavored with white wine or aniseed, while cuggiulelle, originally from Calenzana for the holidays, have a smoother texture and a stronger aniseed taste...
