Artisan Panforte

Artisan Panforte is Nougat & Nice's take on the Italian fruit and nut cake. The maker describes a nougat cake loaded with honey, dark chocolate, dried fruit, almonds and warm spices, with a slice that tastes like a classic fruit cake. Panforte itself comes from Siena in Tuscany.

It is the one item here that is a cake rather than a confection, and the only one that lists wheat: the maker's allergen line reads nuts, dairy, soy and wheat. It is sold as a single 200 g piece, with no block or bar, and the maker talks about it by the slice. For the nougats, start with Honey Almond.

Made by Nougat & Nice, a Bunbury nougat maker started in 2016 by pastry chef Sarah Sorensen.
