Easter in Italy is not an "egg"
At each bakery "Donq" store, the annual Easter limited product "Columba" is on sale again this year. Limited time until April 1st.
Donk's "Columba"
Easter has the image of an "egg", but at Easter in Italy, it is customary to eat the traditional confectionery Columba. Columba is a baked confectionery in the shape of a "dove," which is a symbol of resurrection and a symbol of peace. It is generally eaten as a main dish dessert.
Donk's Colomba, which first appeared in the 1970s, is made by adding orange peel to "Pandoro", which originated in Italy and uses plenty of butter and eggs, topped with almond paste and hail sugar, and baked softly. The inside is dark yellow.
The bulge on the upper right is the head, and the bulge on the lower left is the tail.
Fluffy!
When you stretch it, you will see the crunchy texture of the large hail sugar, the fluffy mouthfeel of the bread, and the light melting that melts smoothly. In addition to the richness of butter and eggs, the fruity taste with a firm orange peel is very delicious! The bread is rich, but the aftertaste is refreshing with the scent of citrus fruits.
The chewy orange peel is here and there
The price is 562 yen for the small size (16 x 11 x 5 cm) and 2,160 yen for the large size (27 x 20 x 7 cm), both including tax. Don't miss this year's experience of Easter in Italy, which is not surprisingly known.
