| Panforte Nero |
 Panforte is a traditional Italian dessert dating back to the Middle Ages. It hails from the city of Siena in Tuscany. It is considered a typical Christmas cake, yet it is produced and eaten all year round. When Italy began trading with Asia, the traditional Panforte recipe was enriched with new ingredients, particularly spices. These spices gave Panforte its name which means "strong bread". The basic recipe for "Panforte di Siena"is a mixture of sugar, honey, fruit like figs, nuts and flour. Depending on the particular flavor, other ingredients and spices are added to the Panforte. According to the tradition, still respected by the best pastry shops of Tuscany, our Panforte comes in wedges cut by hand. PANFORTE NERO: Panforte Nero (meaning "Black Panforte") is quite similar to Panforte Margherita. This variation of Panforte is characterized by a slightly bitter flavor, due to the use of caramelized sugar.
