Oh, my Gosh!! POVITIZA!

I was just thinking of povitiza yesterday, as it is a traditional Christmas treat made by many families in Butte, MT.

One of my ad accounts in Butte is a coffee shop in historic uptown Butte in an old building that was used as the first jailhouse.

The owner is a photographer and also bakes Povitiza year round, not just at Christmas. It is a cinnamon, honey and walnut loaf bread/cake. Kind of like a cinnamon bun, only baked as a loaf and with lots of walnuts.
