GLUTEN-FREE SOFT PANFORTE - 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 sweet. 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 ensures 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, hand-selected. They are soft, flavourful, 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 Sienese confectionery tradition. For the half-kilo format, a taller mould and transparent packaging are used.

The gluten-free Panforte Morbido is produced without the use of flours and is therefore suitable for those with gluten intolerance and coeliacs. In the original recipe, the addition of flours is minimal, so their absence does not substantially alter the recipe or the product's flavour. The candied fruit helps bind this Panforte in the absence of flour. The flavour of the soft Panforte is sweet and delicate. The spice blend used (cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg) is the same as that of Panforte Margherita IGT.

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: artisan 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 Sienese confectionery tradition, inherited from the Masters of Panforte.
