About Panforte

whole panforte

“Mama Mia!!   How fantastic. It’s an addictive treasure – one cannot resist or forget.   Delectable – Old World flavors bring forward its rich history. Hard not to be transported back in time – the spices and texture carry one back to the origin of such delicacy – like tasting this for the first time.”
~Janis Vanwyck

Quality

Our Panforte is created with passion in small batches at the Savory Spoon Cooking School in Door County, WI.  We handcraft our Panforte with high quality hand selected fruits and nuts. We combine apricots, figs, Seville orange peel, Door County dried cherries, Oregon hazelnuts, California almonds, local honey, Wisconsin creamery butter, cane sugar and a hint of flour.  We create culinary magic in the Savory Spoon kitchen by adding the perfect balance of spices and baked to the perfect texture. We taste every batch to confirm it is up to our strict standards…and because we love it! One taste…and you will experience why it is a winner and a bit addictive.

Tradition

Panforte is a famous confection from the 15th Century originating in Siena, Italy in the Tuscany Region.   Crusaders of the time would use this durable confection to fortify themselves and give them energy during their long marches and treks across the country. Our healthy and delicious version is made in the kitchens at the Savory Spoon in Door County, Wisconsin, and inspired by my annual trips to Italy.  Try one of our Culinary Tours.
