The Colomba di Pasqua is a traditional Italian Easter cake. It’s similar to panettone, with rich, fluffy dough and sweet hazelnut frosting. Typically baked on Good Friday, it’s shaped like a dove – the symbol of peace.
Presented in a collectible blue tin, this Colomba is studded with Leone’s delicious fruit jellies. Serve it after Easter lunch with a sparkling sweet wine such as Moscato d’Asti. It can also be toasted and topped with jam or chocolate spread.

About Leone
Leone has been making some of the finest sweets in Italy since 1857. Luigi Leone opened his first shop in Alba, Piedmont to sell digestive pastilles. His mint, cinnamon and clove-flavoured delights proved so popular that before long he found himself opening a shop in Turin. His customers even included the Royal House of Savoy. Today Leone continues to make sweets using the finest Italian ingredients. They stay rooted in Luigi’s original goal: ‘to bring small moments of happiness to those who savour their products’.
