Cupeta or copeta (originating from Arabic qubbayt, literally meaning 'preserved sweet') is a dessert made from honey, dissolved sugar and diced almonds.
Cupeta is usually consumed during the Christmas period in the Calabria, Campania, Apulia and Sicily regions of Italy, as well as in Ponente Ligure, where on the other hand it is prepared all-year-long.
