Panforte di Siena PGI is a traditional Sienese confection made with a base of dried and candied fruit, honey, and spices. The mandatory ingredients for the preparation of Panforte
di Siena PGI are wheat flour type 0, dried fruit (whole and unpeeled sweet almond), and candied fruit. Spices may be added, and the panforte is covered in powdered sugar. 

The use of additives, colouring or preservatives is strictly prohibited. The ingredients are mixed together and the dough is portioned and weighed; each portion is laid on starch wafer paper and wrapped with a band. The panforte is cooked in the oven at 200-230°C for 13-45 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. Once cooled, the surface is coated with icing sugar.
