8Panforte – Tuscany

Another Tuscan specialty, panforte is a dense, spiced cake made with nuts, honey, chocolate, and candied fruits. It dates back to medieval Siena and has a rich, intense flavor.

Unlike soft cakes, panforte is compact and deeply aromatic, making it perfect to enjoy in small slices. It’s especially popular during winter and festive seasons.
