The Art of Pastry by Eva Galimberti

At Cactus Kitchen & Bar, our pastry line is brought to life under the guidance of Eva Galimberti, a talented pastry chef with Italian-German roots, born in Sicily and adopted by Milan. With a deep passion for fruit and nature, Eva has gained significant experience in Sicilian pastry, international chocolate making, and high-end dining. At Cactus Kitchen & Bar, her touch not only delights the palate but also the eyes, thanks to a perfect fusion of flavor, aesthetics, and respect for nature.

Among her most beloved creations are the “Sweet Cactus Forest” a compelling mix of porcino mushrooms, hazelnut, rosemary moss, red currant gel, and truffle ice cream; and the “Millefeuille,” which combines apricot panna cotta with 70% dark chocolate cream, osmosis apricots, and apricot gel, creating a burst of flavors that capture the essence of the season. Each dessert is a small journey through the flavors and artisanal techniques that are most refined.

The “Sweet Cactus Forest” is a dessert that seems to come out of a fairy tale, but with a surprising twist! Porcino mushrooms, rosemary moss, crunchy hazelnut, red currant gel, and a surprising truffle ice cream come together to create a unique experience. A dessert that is not so sweet, redefining the rules of taste, offering a sensory adventure that delights and surprises with every bite.

Beyond the classics, Eva introduces innovative elements like the vegan “Banana Bread,” made with high-quality dark chocolate and ripe bananas, and the “Countryside” dessert, which celebrates the autumn flavors of pumpkin, goat’s milk, chestnuts, and mandarin.
