La Colomba Pasquale: The Easter Dove Panettone

April 3, 2025

Emporio Rulli is delighted to offer our special Panettone "La Colomba Pasquale" as part of our Easter Season Menu. 

Originally made only in the Lombardy province of Northern Italy, this naturally leavened cake, similar to our famed panettone, is now made all over Italy.

Made with organic butter, fresh egg yolks, sugar, and organic flour, the dough is mixed and left to rise overnight. The next morning it is remixed with additional butter, flour, egg yolks, & sugar. When the dough has fully developed, imported organic candied orange peels are added with pure, natural orange oil. Next, the dough is formed into the dove shape, allowed to double in volume, egg-washed, coated with almond paste, and sprinkled with California mission almonds, sugar crystals, and vanilla powdered sugar. After baking, the bread is allowed to cool fully before receiving its final gift- wrap. Altogether, it is a 72-hour process – but well worth the wait!

Emporio Rulli has been baking La Colomba Pasquale in Larkspur for 25 years and it has become a tradition here as well.
