Panforte is a traditional Italian Christmas fruitcake that originated in Siena, Tuscany. It's made with a combination of dried fruit, nuts, spices, flour, and a cooked honey-sugar syrup, and has a chewy texture sweet flavour
Originating as an ancient Sienese dessert called “panmelato”, the original recipe was enriched when the “speziali”, ancient pharmacists, added precious spices from the East.
