Dorboló "Gubana" Traditional Friuli Cake

Discover the rich tradition of Northern Italy with Dorbolò’s Gubana, a time-honored cake from Friuli Venezia Giulia. Handcrafted in the Natisone Valley, this naturally leavened pastry is filled with a luscious blend of dried fruits, walnuts, hazelnuts, and honey — a recipe passed down through generations. Its spiral shape and fragrant filling evoke the warmth of Italian family celebrations.

Moist, nutty, and delicately sweet, the Gubana is perfect to enjoy with espresso, dessert wine, or a drizzle of grappa in true Friulian style. Whether gifted or shared at your holiday table, it embodies the rustic elegance of Italian baking.
