1Panforte

Panforte, a dense, spiced fruitcake from Siena in Tuscany, is a holiday treat that dates back to medieval times.  

Made with nuts, dried fruit, honey, and a blend of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, panforte has a rich and chewy texture.

Often dusted with powdered sugar, this dessert is a bit more rustic and intense than panettone or pandoro. Its bold flavors make it a wonderful choice for Christmas gatherings, where it’s often paired with a glass of dessert wine.
