Colomba moulds & accessories
There are 16 products.
Colomba, the Easter dove, is the traditional Italian Easter bake. Our paper colomba moulds give you the typical dove shape. They are made of dense, pure cellulose paper, withstand up to 200 °C and come in five sizes: 100 g, 300 g, 500 g, 750 g and 1 kg, each in a pack of 5 – so you can bake several colombas at once.
The small moulds suit individual portions and little gifts, the larger ones the festive Easter table. For the dough you will find the liquid Colomba flavouring with natural citrus aromas, orange blossom flavouring, candied orange and lemon peel and pearl sugar.
Tips for the Easter dove
- Size by occasion: 100 g as a guest gift, 500 or 750 g for the family, 1 kg for a large Easter table.
- A citrus note: candied orange peel and orange blossom flavouring give colomba its typical scent.
- Cooling: like panettone, colomba is cooled upside down after baking so the soft crumb does not collapse. The stainless-steel panettone needle and the large panettone turner are made for exactly this.
- Wrapping: for a 500 or 750 g colomba, the 32 x 44 cm and 40 x 48 cm bags fit, 5 per set.
Frequently asked questions about colomba moulds
What is colomba traditionally topped with?
Traditionally the Easter dove gets an almond glaze before baking and is sprinkled with pearl sugar, which stays crunchy in the oven. Pearl sugar is available here in two versions, including a 300 g pack.
Can I use the dove mould for other bakes?
Yes, the paper mould also works for brioche dough or a fruit cake in an Easter shape. Match the amount of dough to the size of the mould so it rises evenly.
