Borsari Pandoro with Limoncello Cream

1 kilo cake - Verona, Italy

A Sunlit Twist on a Golden Classic
Hand-wrapped in heavy-weight decorative paper and tied with a rustic cord, this luxurious pandoro blends two Italian holiday icons—the golden star-shaped cake of Verona and the bright, spirited flavor of southern Italy’s limoncello. The soft, buttery crumb of Pandoro Classico meets ribbons of rich, velvety limoncello cream made with fresh, free-range eggs and sun-ripened lemons.

Each cake takes over 72 hours to prepare using a natural sourdough starter, allowing the dough to rise slowly and develop its airy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Before serving, dust with the enclosed sachet of powdered sugar and shake the bag gently to coat, revealing a snowy, lemon-scented masterpiece ready to enjoy with espresso, prosecco, or hot chocolate.

Why It’s Special
Borsari’s Pandoro al Limoncello transforms the traditional Veronese cake into something extraordinary. The limoncello cream adds a luscious citrus note that complements the cake’s buttery richness, creating a perfect harmony of sweetness and brightness. Limited in quantity and beautifully gift-wrapped, it’s an elegant dessert for any festive table—perfect for lemon lovers!

About Borsari
The prestigious Borsari brand was born in Verona in 1902, named after the city’s historic Porta Borsari gate. Founded by pastry chef Tiziano Golfetti, the bakery became known for its artisanal leavened cakes: pandoro, panettone, and colomba. Today, under the Muzzi family’s stewardship, Borsari continues to uphold its century-old traditions with natural sourdough fermentation, carefully sourced ingredients, and refined presentation. Every cake is hand-wrapped with pride—a true expression of Italian craftsmanship and holiday joy.
