San Patrignano Easter Colomba Cake

£27.00

This traditional Italian Easter Colomba cake is made by San Patriagno in Italy, prepared using a recipe that has been handed down through generations. The bird shaped cake, 'Colomba de Pasqua', literally translates as 'Dove of Easter' - a symbol of peace and love. This sweet and delicious treat has become an integral part of Italian tradition; and can be found in households across the country during the Easter period.

The Colomba di San Patrignano is made from high quality raw ingredients, including 100% Italian flour. The mother yeast which has been cared for and worked by the children of the community for 14 years, is the essential ingredient to obtain the light and fragrant structure of this cake. The dough is the result of three consecutive days of preparation and nourishment of the sourdough with a double leavening lasting 24 hours. Sicilian Ribera orange peels candied naturally perfectly match the natural flavouring resulting from the combination of honey and vanilla pods.
