New Camaldoli Hermitage
The life of a Camaldolese monk radiates outward in various rhythms, involving him in solitude and community, silence and fraternal encounter, prayer and work, study and recreation.
He is dedicated to the love and praise of God in the bond of fraternal charity
That old story about the same fruitcake getting passed around every holiday season just isn’t true, at least not for our brandy-dipped fruitcakes and date-nut cakes. These cakes disappear quickly, which is why we still make the same, full sized fruitcakes and date-nut cakes we always have, from the same decades old recipe.
Brandy-Dipped Date-Nut Cakes
These brandy dipped date-nut cakes have stood the test of time, standing out even among other monastic cakes.
Moist, delicious, well reviewed by food experts, fruitcake lovers, and even fruitcake skeptics! Half the secret is the brandy dipping, but that’s really no secret. The carefully baked date-nut cakes are aged at least 3 months in a temperature controlled environment.
Date-nut cakes are made with choice California dates and fresh walnuts, which are blended with a variety of spices. Cakes are dipped in grape brandy and aged for 3 to 6 months. For holidays -or any special occasion- send a cake to everyone on your gift list.
