Fiore – Panforte of Siena since 1827 – The Heart of Siena

The history of this company is linked to an ancient knowledge, that of Siena’s spices. A knowledge that since the thirteenth century has been handed down in the monasteries and Sienese abbeys and that has found its propulsive fulcrum in the “Santa Maria della Scala”, the medieval hospital of Siena that inside it had the “College of the Medici” and one of the main spice shops organized in the city. The first processing of Panforte took place right in the back room of these ancient spice shops as they provided for the use of expensive spices in the dough.

Since Always – Senese for Excellence

In ‘400 the Florentine priest Arlotto Mainardi, better known as Piovano Arlotto, listing the “talents” of some Italian cities wrote: “in Milan you can make many haberdasheries and armadours, and in Florence the good drapes, in Bologna the sausages, and in Siena the marzapani and the berricuccoli “. Marzapane immediately became a typical Sienese product.
