Colle San Magno. Pigna Cake

The Pigna is the typical Easter cake of Ciociaria and it is prepared in the bakery of Colle San Magno.

It looks like a kind of leavened savoury panettone with a dough full of raisins, cinnamon, anise, vanilla and scented with candied orange and lemon and a hint of liqueur.

Its preparation is rather complex and requires many hours and for this it was used to celebrate important holidays like Easter.
