Colomba Paradiso

Discover the Galup Colomba Paradiso for Easter

The Galup Colomba Paradiso is a fine Easter brioche with the aromatic scent of oranges, completely free of candied fruits or raisins. Its soft and even dough, perfected at the end of the baking process by just the right browning, is simply a delight. What makes the Galup Colomba special is the absence of candied fruits and raisins; instead, orange fruit paste is used.

Classic in its recipe, the Colomba is characterized by the purity of its flavor. Flour, butter, eggs, orange fruit paste, and natural yeast make the Colomba a unique dessert and a good companion to tea or coffee, but it also tastes wonderful with Prosecco. You can also toast slices of Colomba and enjoy them with jam, or make French toast with them.

The Colomba is hand-wrapped in cream-colored paper in the typical Galup design and makes a valuable, welcome gift for Easter.

Galup – una storia italiana

The traditional bakery Galup is known for high-quality Panettone and Colombe, the Easter cake, and has been since 1922 when Pietro Ferrua first baked them. Times have changed, but the Galup brioche is still baked with the same mother yeast, which is refreshed daily with water and flour and is the confectionery's sanctuary. The mother yeast is crucial because it guarantees the authenticity of the flavors, the balanced taste, and the soft dough, which is given a full 40 hours to rise before baking. But it's not just the yeast that greatly influences the quality of the Galup Colomba. Very fresh eggs from free-range hens, selected wheat flour, fresh Italian milk, traditional butter, and oranges candied only with sugar, as well as Piedmontese hazelnuts, are allowed into the dough of the traditional cake. This is how good the traditional Colomba pasquale can taste!

Colomba paradiso – the Easter cake from Italy

What Panettone is to Italians at Christmas, Colomba is to them at Easter. The Colomba is a traditional brioche baked in the shape of a flying dove, a symbol of peace. The soft brioche is baked without raisins, but in this case, it's packed with orange fruit paste.

Galup says about its Colomba Pasquale: “The dove is the symbol of spring and Easter. With its iconic shape and its fresh and light ingredients, this brioche is meant to add a touch of freshness and sweetness to every table.”
