The Colomba Cake is the quintessential Italian Easter Cake. This fragrant, fruit-studded, dove-shaped cake ('Colomba' means 'dove' in Italian) is an Italian rite of Spring. The dove shape symbolizes the sign of peace and renewal. "No traditional Italian Easter meal would be without one." Our Colomba Cake is made in our own bakery and requires days not hours to make. This naturally rising cake-like bread is made from a mother starter and fermented over two days. It is this natural fermentation which makes possible the miraculous keeping qualities of this soft, sweet bread and make it one of the triumphs of the Italian bakers art. It speaks of Spring, rebirth, the Spring equinox, and is without a doubt the crown jewel of the Italian Easter celebration. Hand wrapped. Read more here.
