Description
One of the most iconic classic Italian cake!
Coming from Napoli, the Pastiera Napoletana is a traditional cake you might have tasted during the Easter period.
The taste is rich with hints of orange and lemon notes and artisanal and attractive in appearance, this product cuts well with a moist texture and is well presented.
A very well-balanced cake made with a crumbly shortcrust pastry and a soft flavourful filling…really delicious!
The tradition says that old wives of the men at sea would leave at night baskets of Ricotta, Cooked Wheat, Candied Fruits, Orange blossom, Sugar and Flour (the ingredients to the cake) to welcome their husbands’ return. And that in the morning they would find a ready-made cake, with a penetrating scent of orange (symbol of fertility). Most importantly, orange flowers are the symbol of Springtime coming. And that’s why the Pastiera is now associated with Easter and the midseason tradition.
