Its name means \"strong bread,\" a nod to the bold flavors packed into every slice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanforte is traditionally made with honey, nuts, candied fruit, and warm spices, then finished with a snowy dusting of powdered sugar. La Florentine's 12 oz round follows that tradition, studded with whole almonds and jewel-toned candied fruit. The texture is rich and chewy, closer to a confection than a cake, so a thin wedge goes a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it belongs in your holiday lineup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe fruitcake people actually love.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, nutty, and spiced, with real European character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade for sharing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Slice into thin wedges and serve with espresso, a dessert wine, or a cheese board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA gift that looks the part.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Renaissance-style wrapper makes it ready to give, no extra wrapping needed, and it's a natural centerpiece for an Italian gift basket or a corporate gift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring a centuries-old Italian tradition to your holiday table, and pick up a second one to give.
