Torta Datteri e Mandorle
Panforte is a traditional cake from the Tuscan city of Siena. Its history dates back to medieval times when new spices were introduced by traders arriving from the east. Dense, flavorful, and sweet, panforte makes a satisfying treat. Its long shelf life made it a favored snack of crusaders. While traditionally eaten as a dessert, panforte makes a wonderful pairing with a wide variety of cheeses
Like the original panforte, the torta datteria e mandorle is made with dried & candied fruit, nuts, and spices. This version updates the classic with the addition of dates and a generous helping of almonds. The resulting pastry is sweet and hearty with a wonderful earthy depth.
All of our panforte is made by Pastiecceria Marabissi, a family run business now in its third generation. Located in the town of Chianciano Terme, Marabissi has been handcrafting panforte and other sweets for over 60 years.
