Literally translating to "strong bread," Panforte is a dense confection of candied fruits and wafer that was first made in Siena in 1879 to welcome Italian Queen Margherita. Today, it remains a heavily textured, satisfyingly chewy round that perfectly balances sweet, nutty, and spiced flavor profiles.
We highly recommend making this the star of your holiday charcuterie board. We recently paired a piece with Parmigiano and a thin slice of Pecorino, and the contrast between the sharp, salty cheese and the dense, sweet fruit was absolutely incredible. It is perfectly suited for holiday entertaining.
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. That is why our $26.98 price is fully inclusive of prompt, reliable shipping right to your door. There are no hidden fees at checkout - just premium Italian tradition delivered simply and conveniently.
