This bread has been an Easter menu highlight for years, ushering in a new season and adorning tabletops alongside tulip-filled vases.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a bakery in Italy not spilling over with freshly baked loaves of Colomba Pasquale this time of year. Hailing from the Lombardy province in Italy, \u201cColomba Pasquale\u201d translates to \u201cEaster dove.\u201d Similar to Panettone at Christmastime, this bread is widely known in Italy as a favorite for Easter celebrations. While it\u2019s less common in the states, our customers look forward to it each year.<\/p>\n<p>Studded with candied orange peel, topped with a baked glaze of sliced almonds, and dusted with powdered sugar, our Colomba Pasquale is just as delicious fresh as it is toasted. Slices can be drizzled with honey and served with fresh fruit for a pre-Easter Egg Hunt brunch, but its also perfect with afternoon tea. Whether you\u2019re looking for a hostess gift or just want to add some extra sweetness to these spring mornings, Colomba Pasquale is a natural.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to pre-order a loaf or two for Easter morning. Colomba Pasquale will be available in <a title=\"Our Caf\u00e9s\" href=\"http:\/\/macrinabakery.com\/cafes.php\">our caf\u00e9s<\/a> through April 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So many wonderful things mark the arrival of spring: sun-drenched days, flowers in bloom, fresh produce in the market, and our favorite, Colomba Pasquale.
