Why choose an artisanal colomba instead of an industrial one?
An artisanal colomba is very different from the industrial products found in supermarkets. Handcrafted production results in a softer, more fragrant and more flavourful cake.
The difference comes above all from natural leavening with sourdough starter, which takes a long time but ensures a lighter, more digestible dough structure. Artisanal colombe are made with quality butter, fresh eggs and selected ingredients, with no shortcuts in the production process.
The result is an authentic Easter cake, with a soft texture and an intense aroma that makes every slice a moment of pleasure.
How is a Perrino artisanal colomba made?
Perrino colombe are the result of artisanal craftsmanship that requires time, experience and attention to detail.
The dough is prepared with live sourdough starter and left to rise slowly for many hours. This process allows the ingredients to develop natural aromas and gives the colomba its characteristic soft, airy structure.
After leavening, the dough is shaped into the classic dove form and enriched with selected ingredients. A crunchy almond and sugar glaze completes the cake before baking, creating the perfect contrast between the soft inside and the crisp outside.
