About Fiadone
Fiadone is a Corsican family cake made with fresh brocciu. Gabriel Gaté’s version combines the cheese with eggs, lemon and grappa, and is presented with fresh berries and icing sugar.
The brocciu gives a milky flavour, while lemon zest and juice provide a clear citrus note. Sugar sweetens the cheese mixture, and grappa adds a spirit aroma.
The crustless cake has a creamy texture and a softly coloured baked surface. Fresh berries and a fine sugar dusting complete the cooled cake.
