Our Colomba

Antico Panificio Giuliani’s Colomba is made with flour, a special blend of yeast, butter, sugar, fresh eggs and candied fruits. In the tradition of an artisan confectioner, some special ingredients are added by Luigi. Special attention is made that all of the ingredients are free of any chemical additives and preservatives. The doves are individually hand shaped; no industrial molds are used in the preparation of this specialty cake; each dove is unique.

An interesting difference: Usually, after the baking process, all “doves” need to be turned upside down so that they do not “set” improperly. Ours are different; due to the special blend of yeast, we avoid the difficult and arduous job of making sure no “holes” appear in the interior of the cake. The care and quality of these fresh ingredients as well as the painstakingly long process speaks to the artisan workmanship that is exemplified at this bakery.
