€10-€25Pangiallo Romano in Roma
Pangiallo Romano is a compact, fragrant sweet made with dried fruits and nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts), honey, candied citrus peel, raisins, and spices. The dark, rich dough is covered with a distinctive golden-yellow glaze, traditionally obtained with saffron or with a mixture of flour, water, and egg yolk. It is shaped like a small dome or loaf and cut into thin slices, because it is very concentrated and aromatic. The texture is dense and slightly sticky, more similar to pressed dried-fruit dough than to a soft cake.
