Farewell to the “dad” of Tiramisu, the dessert that has become an icon
Aldo Campeol was the owner of the “Beccherie”, the restaurant where the famous recipe was born
Farewell to Ado Campeol, the patron of the historic restaurant "Le Beccherie" in Treviso where, together with his wife Alba and chef Roberto Linguanotto, he invented the recipe for Tiramisu, a masterpiece of Italian pastry and over time became the most famous spoon dessert in the world .
The restaurateur was 93 years old. Despite the great success, the recipe has never been patented but the original one was deposited with a notary deed at the Italian Academy of Cuisine in 2010.
The ingredients? Savoiardi, sugar and eggs, mascarpone, coffee and bitter cocoa.
For Campeol's death, a message also arrived from Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto Region, who spoke of "another star" that Treviso has lost. "His very long activity as a restaurateur and his Beccherie - added the governor - have gone through decades of the best Treviso tradition, made up of hospitality and quality, and that polite smile that was never lacking on his face".
