Artisanal dove: the traditional Easter sweet

The idea behind the creation and production of the artisanal Easter dove is recent: it was conceived in the 1930s by the artist Dino Villani, who had the brilliant idea of creating a sweet product dedicated to Easter, using the ingredients from traditional Christmas sweets. For this reason, artisanal doves are made from a soft dough made with flour, sugar, and eggs - naturally leavened for 48 hours - and covered with a delicious glaze.

Tradition has it that the classic artisanal dove is covered with a crunchy almond glaze, but there are versions of artisanal doves glazed with delicious creams - such as those with milk or white chocolate, pistachio, or berries - ideal for satisfying the tastes of the sweetest tooth.
