The Colomba by Olivieri 1882 is not just a dessert; it is a symbol of lightness, craftsmanship, and innovation. This leavened masterpiece tells the story and future of a brand that started as a small family business and has now made its mark on the international pastry scene.
Slow Fermentation, Exceptional Flavor
The lightness of Olivieri 1882's Colomba is the result of a meticulous and lengthy preparation process. A living sourdough starter, the beating heart of production, gives structure and digestibility to a dessert distinguished by its rich yet perfectly balanced recipe. Four days of natural working, two doughs, and multiple resting phases before baking ensure a soft and fragrant final product.
Each ingredient is selected with the utmost care: handcrafted candied oranges, Bourbon vanilla, free-range eggs, premium flours, and centrifuge butter made from fresh milk. This perfect combination results in a Colomba that melts in your mouth, enveloped in a crunchy almond and sugar glaze.
Tradition and Innovation in Continuous Evolution
Olivieri 1882 does not stop at tradition but continually explores new flavor combinations with limited-edition variations. Alongside the classic version, there is La Storica, featuring finely chopped candied orange in the dough, and the surprising White Chocolate and Berries, a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. For the most refined palates, there is Three Chocolates, the irresistible Apricot and Salted Caramel, and the unique Strawberry and Lemon Colomba Egg, celebrating spring with fresh, fruity notes.
