Panforte are back and baked exclusively at the Hermitage!
This traditional dessert is a rich and chewy spice cake (the name means "strong bread" in Italian). It combines dried fruit and nuts, honey, sugar, oat and almond flours, and spices, all baked slowly to produce a moist, flavorful, delectable cake. It goes well with red wine, sweet wine, coffee, or tea, and makes a tasty snack at any time of day.
We're baking five flavors year-round:
All-natural & gluten free*!
Each cake weighs 8 oz.
*Baked in a facility that processes gluten.
My husband and I are enjoying the Apricot Almond Panforte from Holy Cross Monastery.
The flavors are well balanced. Lovely to enjoy with coffee or tea.
