Among the most beloved holiday sweets of our online bakery, the artisanal Easter dove with candied fruit comes from a traditional recipe, where eggs from free-range chickens and honey from exclusively Italian beekeeping are combined with a golden and fragrant dough.
A preparation based on sourdough that, after more than 24 hours of leavening, infuses the classic artisanal colomba with a soft and digestible soul. To guard the precious heart dotted with candied Navel oranges of Calabria, the Easter cake is wrapped in a shell of almond icing and whole almonds, which give a slight crunchiness contrasted with a soft cloud 100% artisan.
The traditional colomba is a delight leavened naturally, according to recipes handed down for two generations within our pastry shop. To make the most of its fragrant and light dough, we recommend serving the Easter dove at room temperature, accompanying it with classic creams such as custard or chantilly cream.

The sourdough contained within our artisanal Easter dove offers greater freshness and durability. In order to best maintain the flavor and aroma properties of the colomba with candied fruit, store this traditional cake in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and away from light.
