Tozzetti with saffron
These traditional Umbrian sweets were historically prepared for family celebrations, particularly Christmas and Easter, but can now be found at any time of the year. There are many reinterpretations: everyone perhaps adds a personal detail or ingredient, according to their own taste. This version uses Cascia saffron instead of aniseed.

Attorta and Rocciata
