History and origins

There Easter dove It's an Easter symbol with ancient roots. According to history, the tradition dates back to the beginning of the biblical Easter season, when Jesus returned to Jerusalem on a donkey. 

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

Making Easter Colomba is an ancient culinary tradition. The original recipe calls for a slow-rising dough (like a classic Neapolitan pizza) filled with dried fruit, raisins, and gianduja, or spices like cinnamon or vanilla. 

Once baked, it's coated 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 glazed fruit. 

Characteristics of the artisanal colomba

Soft and fluffy, artisanal Colomba is also known in Easter tradition for its wonderfully rich flavor. But to be able to call it a "Colomba," its production must follow strict ministerial guidelines—which require fresh eggs and butter, wheat flour, candied citrus peel, and natural yeast. 

For this special occasion, we've selected a selection of delicious flavors: pistachio or almond-glazed doves; chocolate doves filled with hazelnut cream: there's something for everyone!

Prices of artisanal doves

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

This is because artisanal Colomba cakes are made entirely by hand and use only high-quality ingredients, including no preservatives. The production time for an artisanal Colomba cake can vary from two to three days, depending on the experience and skill of the pastry chef who makes it.

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

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

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

At first glance, artisanal dove cakes may seem expensive; however, you can be sure that these delicacies are worth every penny.
