Fiasconaro Strawberry, Mint & Chocolate Colomba Gift Box 1kg

This strawberry, mint and chocolate colomba is the newest flavour from Fiasconaro for Easter 2022! The traditional slow-leavened Italian cake is studded with semi-candied Sicilian wild strawberries and enriched with natural mint extract for sweet and fresh flavours of spring. It is finished with a pastel pink icing of cherry jam from Castelbuono and a dusting of chocolate. 

Colomba di Pasqua, or ‘Easter Doves’, are traditional dove-shaped Italian Easter cakes. Aslow-leavened cake made with yeast, they are enriched with butter and eggs – much like panettone –  and are finished with icing and chocolate. These beautifully light cakes are a stunning  centrepiece to enjoy over the Easter period. 

Enjoy a slice of this colomba with mascarpone and fresh berries for an indulgent breakfast on Easter Sunday morning, or with your favourite brew as an afternoon treat.
