Airy, buttery, highly aromatic Italian Easter cake filled with fine lemon cream

The history of the origin of the Colomba Pasquale

According to a beautiful legend, the city of Pavia is said to have appeased the wild Lombard king Alboin in 571 with a dove of peace baked as an Easter cake. Its airy, buttery yeast dough is enriched with fine orange zest. A delicate hazelnut glaze with whole almonds covers the highly aromatic Easter cake. In Italy, it is enjoyed during Easter with an espresso or with a glass of spumante as a dessert. Virginia Colomba Pasquale is baked in the heart of Liguria and then beautifully hand wrapped. To fully enjoy the sweet aroma of your Colomba, we recommend leaving the cake at room temperature for two hours before serving.
