The modern buccellato di Lucca retains its original ring shape, and is widely found on Luccan tables as a sweet Sunday treat, carried home on the forearm after attending Mass.

Buccellato di Lucca's sweet flavor, dark brown color, and gloss result from a sugar and egg glaze applied to the crust.

[citation needed] The interior is soft, filled with sultana raisins and aniseed.

It is often consumed with wine, Vin Santo, cream and coffee, ricotta, or rum.
