Just like the savory casatiello, the sweet casatiello is also typical of the Easter period and in many places it is also called Pigna or Easter Tortano. The traditional recipe provides very long rising times using the "criscito", the Neapolitan term for sourdough starter, which has the advantage of keeping the product soft for several days. However, it is possible to prepare the sweet casatiello with common baker's yeast without necessarily altering its texture or the flavor that vaguely recalls pastiera, thanks to the presence of orange blossom essence in the dough.
