There are hundreds of Italian desserts—dolci—but the same ones keep showing up on the menus of Italian restaurants again and again. There’s always the tiramisu, which (according to Wikipedia) isn’t terribly old. Then again, neither is torta caprese, which seems to be another invention of the twentieth century. One site notes that none of its ingredients are specific to Capri. The principal ingredient—chocolate—is foreign to Italy. (Wikipeida notes that Italy produces about 110,000 metric tons of almonds per year, but Italy is not among the countries where the cacao tree is grown.)
