Fig & Almond Chocolate Panforté
At Irrewarra, we hand-make our Fig & Almond Chocolate Panforté using the classic Italian recipe: dark chocolate, cocoa, dried figs, roasted almonds, glacé citrus, raisins, and spices, all sweetened with local Victorian honey. Lightly dust with icing sugar to serve!
It’s a rich, firm nougat-style cake which is chewy, addictive, and delicious!
In keeping with the Italian tradition, our Panforté is beautifully wrapped by hand in decorative patterned paper, making it a wonderful gift or beautiful addition to any Christmas table.
Like all our products, Irrewarra Sourdough's Chocolate Panforté is preservative-free - however, it will last for a long time wrapped in its original packaging and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Available in a whole 500-gram round, Irrewarra's Chocolate Panforté is only available for a limited time in the lead-up to Christmas.
Fruit Mince Tarts
The fruit mince tart (or fruit mince pie), is a classic Christmas creation. It takes lots of work to make these small tarts, but the process is very rewarding! The best mince tarts have the perfect balance between buttery pastry and spicy, moist fruit and we’ve worked hard over many years to perfect our recipe and achieve that balance.
At Irrewarra we make our own fruit mince from scratch. We grate Granny Smith apples, then macerate the apple and dried fruits – currants, raisins, dates and prunes – in proper French brandy and a mix of spices. The secret of our mince is the unique blend of fruit: our whole vine fruits return to their pre-dried form as they absorb the brandy and juice from the grated apples. We don’t use mixed peel in our tarts as we find it too firm and harsh – instead we add a burst of citrus with a small amount of freshly finely grated orange zest. Our pastry is a rich shortcrust made with fresh local Moorpark free-range eggs combined with local fresh butter, all rolled and cut by hand.
Irrewarra Fruit Mince Tarts come perfectly gift-boxed in packs of four, and are available for a limited time in the lead-up to Christmas. You’ll find them at most of our Victorian retailers.
