Nadalin · Verona
Verona's medieval predecessor to pandoro, a flatter denser eight-pointed star cake topped with sugar glaze and almonds.
Nadalin is the older eight-pointed-star Christmas cake of Verona, traceable to the late 13th century during Scaligeri rule. The name comes from Natale (Christmas). When Domenico Melegatti patented pandoro in 1894, he was technically improving the Nadalin tradition by lightening the dough and removing the sugar glaze. Some Verona pasticcerie still bake the original Nadalin alongside pandoro at Christmas.
