La Colomba, literally meaning dove, is the traditional Italian Easter cake, baked in the shape of a dove to signify peace, hope and renewal.
Seggiano's Colomba dough is naturally leavened overnight using a 40 year old mother yeast and next morning it's mixed with a richer dough, made with local honey, organic eggs and sulphite-free candied fruit peels.
Left to rise twice more, the final touch is a traditional crunchy almond glaze topping with whole nuts, before the cakes are ready to bake.
