Loison Peonie Colomba Classic a.D. 1552

by Loison

DESCRIPTION

The Colomba cake is the traditional Italian Easter cake, baked in the shape of a dove to signify peace and renewal.  Never before have we so needed these cakes to gift at Easter time.  The beautiful wrapping makes this Top-Line Colomba stand head and shoulders above most Chocolate Easter Eggs (except ours of course).  Enjoy a slice of Colomba cake with a glass of wine, in true Italian style, or with a tea or coffee. Best served warm or at room temperature.

The Classic Colomba is obtained by natural leavening from sourdough and the basic ingredients are all fresh: free-range Italian eggs, milk, cream and mountain butter. Its dough is rich in juicy candied Sicilian orange peel and natural vanilla Mananara from Madagascar. The surface is covered with a fragrant italian almond glaze, decorated with whole almonds and granulated sugar. A perfect combination of italian pastry tradition, craftsmanship and excellent ingredientsmake Loison Colomba a perfect sweet to be enjoyed at Easter. 

Made in Italy by Loison, a family bakery business dating from 1938.
