The origin of the Italian Christmas gingerbread is also associated with a beautiful legend that one of the Magi brought figs and almonds as a gift to the baby Jesus, and this combination formed the basis of the recipe. The most famous panforte is made in Siena and sold before the holiday in the central square Piazza del Campo, which is round like the gingerbread itself. Traditional Sienese panforte must contain 17 ingredients, including nuts, dried fruits, honey, zest, and spices. Hence the name - "pan forte", rich or "strong" bread. This gingerbread is quite hard to the tooth - it has little flour, but a lot of honey syrup, which turns into caramel. But there is also a "female" version - panforte della dame - more tender due to the presence of chocolate.
