In Italy, nothing says Easter like a rich, soft, delicately sweet Colomba. This traditional, dove-shaped cake is a springtime cousin of panettone. Filippi's colomba is is made with 100% extra virgin olive oil is a no-butter, dairy-free cake, made with extra-virgin olive oil and candied citrus peel. It is light and airy, with the delicate honey-vanilla flavor of panettone. It is topped with crunchy sugar icing and Bari almonds.
Pasticceria Filippi's story begins in 1972 in Zané, near Vicenza, when Maria and Giuliano began baking authentic cakes and pastries using only the best ingredients they could find. Today, together with their sons Andrea and Lorenzo, the family continues to operate with their philosophy that everything that is made well, with care and passion, requires time. All of their yeast risen cakes are made from the “mother dough”, a starter that contains natural yeast. Filippi is dedicated to sourcing their chocolate and vanilla from ethical producers and maintaining fair trade practices. All of their other ingredients are similarly chosen, such as fresh milk and butter delivered every day from the nearby village, free range eggs, and natural Italian honey. In all of Pasticceria Filippi products, you will taste the difference that time, loving attention, and quality ingredients make.
