About Muzzi
Muzzi’s colomba recipe dates back to the 18th century. Their colomba are made using a 'mother' yeast, following the sourdough method for even better flavour. They use organic eggs, top quality Italian butter and candied fruit from Sicily.

Muzzi was founded in the 18th Century by Master Muzzi in the Umbrian town Foligno, Italy. Muzzi’s aniseed marzipan recipe proved a great success with the nobility at the time, and his business grew into breads and pastries.
