Panettone
Tradition Meets Flavor
Panettone originates from Milan, Italy, and has been part of Christmas traditions since the 15th century. It became widely known as a holiday cake across Italy and later around the world. (Wikipedia)
We prepare each panettone using natural sourdough, slow fermentation, and carefully balanced ingredients. The result is a soft, airy structure with fruit, chocolate, or nut layers inside.

Holiday Tradition in Every Slice
