Italian Panforte

Italian Panforte is among Tuscany’s most enduring gourmet traditions. Originating in Siena, this dense, aromatic cake combines honey, roasted almonds, candied orange and lemon peel, and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg — all bound together in a rich, chewy texture. It often bears the signature icing sugar dusting and is known for its historic roots dating as far back as the Middle Ages. At The Artisan Food Company, we select Panforte from artisan producers in Tuscany who bake batch-by-batch using time-tested recipes. The result is a cake that invites celebration, contemplation and indulgence. Whether sliced thin and served with espresso, dessert wine or simply with good company, it offers true Italian character. Rich in flavour, heritage and authenticity — our Italian Panforte is a gourmet treat worthy of any elegant pantry.
