The name pandoro (literally, "golden bread") perfectly describes the golden yellow color of the dough conferred by the eggs. Light and soft, like brioche dough, it has a delicate and slightly vanilla-scented taste.
The features shared by pandoro and the French "brioche" lead to even farther origins: the most ancient documents date back to the 1st century AD, when Pliny lived. As a matter of fact, we have documents quoting a sort of bread prepared with superfine flour, butter, and oil.
Today, the pandoro of Verona is produced at industrial level and is mainly sold in supermarkets (about the 70-80%). For this reason, it transformed itself from a characteristic regional product into a product known all over the Country.
