History and Origins

La Easter dove is a symbol of Easter that has its roots in ancient times. According to history, the tradition dates back to the beginning of the biblical Easter season, when Jesus had returned to Jerusalem riding a donkey. 

The inhabitants of the city welcomed Jesus with doves, thus creating the iconic Easter dove tradition. Today, the Easter dove is commonly seen as a sign of peace and harmony, as well as a symptom of hope for the future. 

The preparation of the Easter dove is an ancient culinary tradition. The original recipe calls for using a slow-rising dough (as is done for the classic Neapolitan pizza), filled with dried fruit, raisins and gianduja or spices such as cinnamon or vanilla. 

Once baked, it is treated with honey or powdered sugar to give the base a crunchy texture. Its shape, reminiscent of the biblical image of the dove, is also influenced by these culinary characteristics. 

The Easter dove is usually decorated with candied and frosted fruits. 

Characteristics of the artisan dove

Soft and fluffy, the artisan dove is also known in Easter tradition for its wonderfully rich taste. But in order to call it "colomba," the production must follow strict ministerial guidelines-which call for fresh eggs and butter, wheat flour, candied citrus peel and sourdough. 

For this special occasion, we have chosen an assortment of delicious flavors: pistachio doves or with almond icing; chocolate doves filled with hazelnut cream: there is something for everyone!

Prices of handcrafted doves

The price of artisanal doves is significantly higher than the industrial versions offered by large retailers. 

This is because artisan doves involve a completely manual process and use only high-quality ingredients, such as no preservatives. The processing time for an artisan dove can vary from two to three days, depending on the experience and skill of the confectioner who makes it.

As a result, the prices of artisan doves are four to five times higher than those of industrial doves. 

However, we firmly believe that the quality offered by these artisan doves far exceeds their price. 

Each bite corresponds to a range of flavors, scents and emotions that cannot be found in an industrial product.

At first glance, artisan doves may seem expensive; however, you can be assured that these delicacies are truly worth every penny spent.
