Name reveals in 2 guesses
A dense, richly spiced biscuit sweetened with sugarcane honey and enriched with olive oil, eggs and pine nuts, with cinnamon, clove and fennel — or anise in its place — giving it a warm, aromatic bite. Sweet wine or coffee sometimes goes into the dough, and a little salt balances the sweetness. It is baked at Christmas, and in some places for All Saints' Day, and is traditionally given and received as a gift.
