Alberti Strega Babà al Limoncello 580g

Strega Baba Limoncello are made with the finest fresh baked babas and classic Limoncello liquor. Babas are mushroom shaped yeast cakes soaked in hard liqueur and sugar. Made with a similar dough to Brioche, these cakes are left to leaven three times before baking to ensure a light, fluffy cloud-like constancy. The cakes dried out for a day before being soaked. This extensive process means that Babas are rarely made at home but purchased from specialty stores. The importance of using quality pastry is to be able to soak up your favourite liqueur. Babas are commonly soaked in Rum but Limoncello and other regional liqueurs are used a special treat.These babas are soaked in an aromatic Limoncello syrup made using lemons from the Amalfi coast. They are best served with lashings of cream or vanilla bean gelato. It is recommended that you turn the jar upside down before opening to ensure all cakes are fully covered in the liquor.
