€10 - €30Venetian fugassa in Venice
Venetian fugassa is a traditional leavened cake from historic Venice and the Veneto region, considered the ancestor of modern panettone. It has a low, round shape, a soft yet compact texture, and a delicate flavor scented with citrus and vanilla, often topped with sugar or almonds.
Unlike large industrial sweet breads, fugassa began as a simple, popular dessert made with humble but once-precious ingredients: flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and natural yeast.
