Experience the fruity flavour of Fiasconaro’s Pesca di Leonforte PGI colomba. This stunning Italian Easter cake is enriched with candied fruit and almond praline. Is this your first time buying from us?

The late peaches of Leonforte have firm, yellow flesh. They are prized for their aroma and sweet, caramelised flavour. The peaches are grown in the Sicilian sunshine and harvested in September and October.

Fiasconaro uses a slow leavening process to create a light, airy dough. The candied fruit infuses the cake with the taste of sweet, ripe peaches. Almond sticks add nutty crunch to the thin layer of icing that covers the cake.

Colomba are traditional Italian Easter cakes. They are shaped like doves to symbolise peace and renewal. Fiasconaro’s colomba are made and wrapped by hand - ideal for gifting.

Enjoy your colomba sliced, toasted or topped with whipped cream. You can serve it after Easter lunch with coffee or a glass of prosecco.

Store in a cool, dry place.

About Fiasconcaro

Fiasconaro was founded in Castelbuono, Sicily in 1953 by Mario Fiasconaro. Mario started out as an ice-cream maker and pastry chef, and his first great masterpieces were mountains of profiteroles. His three sons, Fausto, Nicola and Martino, began learning the art of pastry when they were children. Today, the three brothers still lead the company. Nicola is the production manager and an award-winning pastry chef. You’ll taste his expertise in every bite of Fiasconaro’s luxurious panettones and torrone.
