PANFORTE WITH FIGS AND WALNUTS - ANCIENT SIENESE SWEETS

Known and appreciated since the Middle Ages (13th century), when pilgrims and spice merchants travelled along the Via Francigena, Panforte is the quintessential Sienese dessert. It is the result of the transformation and baking of a dough based on quality raw materials: flour, candied fruit, almonds, sugar, honey and spices. The ingredients are always fresh and sourced from the best farms. The PGI designation guarantees strict control of the production process combined with the use of first-rate raw materials. The almonds are of the best quality, of Italian origin, mainly from Puglia, hand-selected. They are soft, flavoursome and rich in essential oils that characterise their aroma. The fruit is processed using traditional techniques to achieve an optimal level of softness and sweetness.

The 100g, 250g and 450g formats are hand-packed according to Siena's confectionery tradition.

In Panforte Ficchi e Noci, dried figs and walnuts add the typical autumn flavours of Siena to the centuries-old recipe, while still retaining the aromas of traditional panforte. A surprising variation.

La Fabbrica del Panforte

La Fabbrica del Panforte is located a few kilometres from Siena. It is like a small but vigorous plant, with its roots in the land and culture of the city. The result is of great quality: artisanal bakery products, cared for down to the smallest detail.

For its creations, La Fabbrica del Panforte draws inspiration from the past, from the original recipes of Siena's confectionery tradition, inherited from the Panforte Masters.
