Father’s Day is a popular celebration in some areas of the world honouring fathers and paternity. Father's Day in the UK is taking place on 21 June – it always falls on the third Sunday of the month. This is based on the US calculation of the date, but other countries around the world celebrate at various times throughout the year. In Italy, for example, the day when the father figure is traditionally celebrated is March 19th, the day Pope Sixtus IV in 1479 dedicated to St. Joseph, who is considered to be Jesus’ father.
This day is the perfect occasion for children to show their love and gratitude with cards, little gifts as well as good food! Gifts of food are always an excellent way to show our affection - there is nothing that is more appreciated! Among the traditional foods representing this day, we have the famous zeppole di San Giuseppe, delicious fried pastries typical of the Neapolitan culinary tradition and garnished with custard or black cherry jam. But this does not mean there is no room for other delicacies to enjoy together! At Dolceitaliano.it, we have come up with a range of products from which to choose a special gift!
