The Secret to Perfect Tiramisù: Savoiardi & Mascarpone Harmony

## The Anatomy of Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)

As the structural foundation of tiramisù, authentic Italian Savoiardi must achieve a delicate equilibrium when submerged in rich espresso—neither collapsing into sogginess nor remaining unyielding.

Precision Temperature & Immersion Duration

In our atelier, espresso is cooled to precisely 62°C before each ladyfinger is dipped for exactly 1.5 seconds. This micro-precision ensures the open-crumb sponge captures the coffee evenly without overwhelming the structure.

Layering the Mascarpone Velvet

Each layer is smoothed by hand with an offset spatula, allowing resting periods between assemblies to maintain structural elegance and delicate airy lightness.
