A sweet slice of Italian tradition
Panettone, the beloved Italian sweet bread, has a fascinating origin story dating back to 15th-century Milan, Italy. According to legend, Toni, a young baker, discovered this dessert by accident when he experimented with enriched dough and candied fruit, creating the iconic “Pan de Toni” (Toni’s bread).
Panettone is traditionally enjoyed during the festive Christmas season and consists of a combination of ingredients such as eggs, butter, sugar, candied fruit and raisins. It’s distinctive tall, domed shape and light, soft texture have made panettone a beloved dessert on Christmas tables around the world. However, there is a growing trend to enjoy panettone year-round, especially in artisan markets.
