Postcards from Italy

Easter Gift Boxes from Cantina Direct

Italian food stores, sweet shops, and bakeries are beginning to overflow with Easter goods in anticipation of the holiday. Each year, Italians celebrate Easter (Pasqua) with a colomba shaped cake.

Think of a colomba (which also means dove) as the Easter version of panettone.

While the latter has found its way to the U.S., colombe are just starting to show up stateside. You can get a jump on the trend when you order one shipped directly from Italy through our friends at Dolceforte Firenze and Cantina Direct.

We’ve curated two beautiful and delicious collections to ensure you have a Buona Pasqua.
