The Colomba Giusti is created from the combination of tangy-sweet balsamic vinegar and the delicate sweetness of the traditional Italian Easter cake: fragrant, soft, and exceptionally aromatic – a modern interpretation of the classic. The Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP “3 Gold Medals” is not only added directly to the dough but also used to marinate the raisins and to round out the cream filling, before the cake is finished with a dark chocolate glaze.
