Colomba di Pasqua also in our Limassol

Colomba pasquale or Colomba di Pasqua (“Easter Dove” in English) is an Italian traditional Easter bread. The dough for the colomba is made in a similar manner to panettone, with flour, eggs, sugar, natural yeast and butter. The dough is then fashioned into a dove shape (colomba in Italian) and finally is topped with pearl sugar and almonds before being baked. Some manufacturers produce other versions including a popular bread topped with chocolate, or pistacchio spread like the once done by Fiasconaro, that you can find at Phiale Wines & Foods!
