Colombe prices have increased 21%, with classic versions up 6-9% and chocolate-filled ones jumping 18-36%.

Roman Suppli include carnaroli rice, mozzarella, butter, onion, tomato puree, milk, vegetable broth, fresh basil leaves, eggs, Parmigiano, and Roman pecorino cheese. These are used to create a creamy, flavorful rice mixture that is then shaped into balls, filled with mozzarella, and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
