What a happy day for all of us here at Termini’s. Our Easter products hit the stores today,
meaning Easter season is finally upon us!
Easter is one of our favorite times of the year, and is host to some of
our longest held and most beloved traditions.
In recent years, we’ve added a few items to our Easter Menu, but all of
them still hold emotional and historical significance to us.
Today, the kitchen has been rife with the scent of our
amazing Italian Easter Ham Pie (also known as pizzagaina, pronounced
“pizza jay-nuh”), so we thought we’d tell you a little more about the
history of this relatively new addition to our Easter line-up. Pizzagaina
is a traditional Easter dish for people from the Abruzzo region of Italy. The pie consists of layers of ham and other
pork meats, eggs and cheese in a sweetened bread shell, and is only made once a
year to celebrate Easter. The dish is
made in celebration of the Resurrection and commemorates the end of Lent with a
rich combination of meats and cheeses, items that are generally prohibited
during the Lenten season.

Regardless of your nationality or religious affiliations, we
invite you to try this celebratory dish in the presence of friends and family
during this joyful time of year.
Wishing you all our best,
Termini Brothers Bakery
