Loison Trasparenze Colomba Lemon Cream

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 see through 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 or limoncello, in true Italian style, or with a tea or coffee. Best served warm or at room temperature.

The Lemon Colomba is a soft pastry, obtained by natural fermentation from the mother yeast, and is the result of 72 hours of patient artisan processing. The yellow dough is especially soft owing to the use of fresh milk, fresh butter and fresh cream. It is generously filled with "Siracusa IGP" lemon cream, and is enriched with minced and candied lemon peel, which give an intense and persistent citrus aroma. The surface is covered with a fragrant italian almond glaze, and decorated with whole almonds and granulated sugar.

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