Don't worry: if you haven't added your Easter dove cake to your cart yet, we're here to help you choose the one that best suits your tastes.
Yes, because our artisanal doves are available on our website in four different variations : let's discover them together!

Artisanal Colomba with candied fruit

Let's start with the most classic version, the timeless Colomba with candied fruit , which originates from a traditional recipe, where the golden and fragrant dough is made from free-range hens and honey from 100% Italian beekeeping.

To make it so soft and digestible, we use sourdough starter and wait more than 24 hours for natural leavening… Because good things take time!

The candied fruit inside is made from pieces of candied Calabrian Navel oranges , and the icing is made from almond glaze and whole almonds, which make the shell of this colomba cake particularly crunchy.

Our tip for serving it and getting that wow factor? Serve it with custard or Chantilly cream ... You'll feel the sweetness of the mixture!

Artisanal Colomba without candied fruit

Do you love delicate flavors and simple desserts? This natural artisanal Colomba cake without candied fruit will win you over at first bite! This artisanal recipe is naturally leavened for over 24 hours with sourdough starter, has a soft, golden texture , and contains no candied fruit or raisins.

The outer coating of almond icing and granulated sugar blends beautifully with the delicate dough, made with free-range eggs and honey from exclusively Italian beekeepers, ensuring a perfect balance between sweetness and lightness.

Of course, you can choose to enrich our artisanal Colomba without candied fruit with spreadable or homemade creams , but also custard or Chantilly cream, artisanal jams or delicately flavoured ice cream… The choice is yours!

Artisanal chocolate dove

Can't resist chocolate? We've got you covered, too, with this artisanal dark chocolate Colomba ! This variation features a soft, fragrant dough topped with dark chocolate chips , again made with sourdough starter and left to rise naturally for over 24 hours.

The traditional recipe is, in this case too, based on free-range hens, honey from Italian beekeeping and the almond icing shell is embellished with a cascade of hazelnuts , which enhances the strong flavour of the dark chocolate present inside the dough.

If you want to add a touch of indulgence to your chocolate colomba, you can opt for custard, Chantilly cream, or hazelnut cream ... It will be a wonder of deliciousness!

Artisanal apricot dove

Now it's the turn of our artisanal apricot colomba , an original and unique version in taste and appearance, with hand-cut semi-candied apricot cubes that resemble sweet drops of jam and which combine with a soft and fragrant dough, giving it sweetly fruity notes.

The leavening process with sourdough is natural and lasts more than 24 hours, making the dough soft and digestible, while the crunchy almond glaze is enriched with granulated sugar.

The traditional recipe features free-range eggs and 100% Italian honey.

To enhance its fruity and delicate flavour, we recommend accompanying it with custard or Chantilly cream .
