The queen of the Easter table: Classic Colomba
According to Italian tradition, a Colomba - the Easter cake par excellence - is always found on the table. It is a soft and delicate sweet bread known all over the world for its unique and delicious taste.
The Colomba Tradizionale by Gian Piero Loddo is easily digestible and with such a unique soft texture that it came third at the Divina Colomba 2021 contest.
The Colombina Tradizionale by Master Roberto Cantolacqua is small yet delicious. The flavour of a great cake in a 150 gram version!
Last but not least, we have the the Colomba classica by Gianfranco Nicolini, characterized by its aroma, light texture and crunchy icing sprinkled with almonds and hazelnuts.
Unmissable products for chocolate lovers
If traditional products do not fully meet your tastes, Dolceitaliano.it has a solution for everyone, starting with the lovers of cocoa in all its forms.
Not one, not two, but three types of chocolate make Colomba ai 3 cioccolati by Antonio Daloiso an explosion of taste for those looking to indulge in more luxurious flavour.
A cascade of precious milk chocolate chips, gianduja filling and a crunchy dark chocolate icing make the Colomba al Cioccolato by Salvatore Gabbiano a delicacy you simply must try.

Lemon, fruits of the forest, white chocolate and pistachio - these are the precious ingredients that embody the colours and flavours of spring in the special Colomba Primavera by Nilde Store.
Cooked and “trapped” Colomba
Are you familiar with the technique of cooking in jars? It is a rather ancient method whereby the food is cooked directly in glass jars. Colomba cooked in a jar is perfect to amaze your guests as well as for a gift idea.
A few examples? The versions by Denis Danin range from the classic Colomba to more scrumptious ones with white chocolate, orange, lemon and tonka beans. One more inviting that the other - all to discover and enjoy!
It would not be Easter without chocolate eggs. Something that unites adults and children alike as they unwrap them ready to grab a piece of delicious chocolate and discover what is hidden inside. If you are looking for a fine pastry one, you are in the right place!
The hand-decorated version by Majani 1796 is almost too lovely to eat. It is a two-flavoured egg - half is fine milk chocolate and the other half is extra dark chocolate with precious floral decorations.
For a true artistic chocolate creation this Easter, choose the milk chocolate Easter egg with hazelnut cremino and wafer by Chef Davide Odore- it is the perfect expression of a great and unequalled Italian tradition.
Warning! One after another - it is impossible to resist! We are talking about the two Ovetti bags by La Perla Turin. An inviting assortment of mini-eggs, with also two flavours. Their creator vouches for their high quality!
