Seggiano Chocolate Panforte

The nuns of a medieval convent near Siena originally invented panforte, a flat sweet cake made from candied citrus fruit peels, rich spices and toasted almonds. This delicious recipe was later copied by the apothecaries of Siena province and panforte became a traditional local speciality, enjoyed on festive occasions.

Dark rich cocoa powder adds an irresistible chocolate dimension to the rich, spiced flavours of this panforte cake.
