PANFORTE IGP MARGHERITA - ANTICHI DOLCI DI SIENA

Known and appreciated since the Middle Ages (13th century), when pilgrims and spice merchants passed through the Via Francigena, Panforte is the quintessential Sienese dessert. It is the result of transforming and baking 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 over the production process combined with the use of premium raw materials. The almonds are of the best quality, of Italian origin, mainly from Puglia, and selected by hand. They are soft, flavourful, and rich in essential oils that characterize 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 the Sienese confectionery tradition. The half-kilo format uses a taller mould and transparent packaging.

Panforte PGI Margherita is a modern reinterpretation of Panforte, a creation by the confectioners of the time to honour Queen Margherita when she visited Siena in 1879. After cooling, each panforte is dusted with confectioners' sugar and hand-packed. It is the most delicate-tasting panforte among the traditional varieties.

La Fabbrica del Panforte

The Panforte Factory 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 baked goods, cared for down to the smallest detail.

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