Made in the town of Fontanigorda, just northeast of Genoa at pasticceria Berti operated by Stefania Ferretti and her son Ludovico. Operating since 1896, this small bakery makes a variety of breads, cookies and cakes including the pandolce we import every holiday season. Learn more
Pandolce is a traditional Genovese creation based on panettone, but in a much more durable format. This is the bread that sailors would take with them on their voyages long lasting, easy to transport and densely packed with flavor.
This is a dense (and somewhat dry) cake - it is fantastically flavorful, and kind of akin to a dense and sweet Irish soda bread. Best served alongside coffee, tea or after dinner with a sweet wine.
To be honest, I was looking for my favorite panettone and disappointed not to find it available. I ordered this pandolce thinking it would be a poor substitute, but at least I would be trying something new. I love the pandolce! Both flavor and texture. Lightly toasted is best and a good cup of Italian roast coffee alongside is like heaven.
