Panettone
Explore la bellezza of Italy.
In Italy, a gathering over the Christmas holidays would not be complete without enjoying a slice or two of panettone. Known as Italy’s signature Christmas cake, panettone is a type of sweet bread originally made with dried raisins, candied orange and lemon peel.
Panettone originated in 15th century Milan, and today is not only enjoyed in Italy, but all over the world.
Panettone combines the moistness of a cake with the texture of bread. The outside has a slight crust and the interior is melt-in-your-mouth soft. Available in a variety of flavours from wild berries, chestnut, chocolate, fig, pistachio, and lemon-infused limoncello – just to name a few. Is your mouth watering yet?
Excellent on its own, panettone is also delicious served with fresh berries, drizzled in dark chocolate, a scoop of ice cream or slathered in various sweet marmellata spreads.
You can pair it with a glass of vino or a cappuccino. And don’t forget to save some slices for breakfast because it makes for delicious French toast. Buon appetito!
