Product variants

Pillowy-soft and studded with candied orange peel, Rustichella D’Abruzzo’s version of the Italian sweet is tender, slightly chewy and subtly flavored with citrusy orange and flecks of rich chocolate. Traditionally served after the Christmas meal, often lightly toasted and buttered, a slice of panettone also makes a nice breakfast or snack slathered with marmalade or apricot jam. If you happen to have leftovers (unlikely), it makes a terrific bread pudding. Matthew Card, our creative director of recipe and products, has even played on the Sicilian tradition of serving gelato tucked into brioche by making ice cream sandwiches with slices of toasted panettone.

An Italian treat with a rich history.

The roots of panettone go back to the Roman empire when honey was added to leavened cakes, but it popped up formally as Panettone in Milan. As the story goes, the Duke of Milan was having a feast in the 15th century and the cook accidentally burned the dessert. In a panic, the cook took the kitchen boy’s suggestion to serve the Duke the sweet leavened cake he had made for himself. The Duke loved it and the cook called it “L’è ‘l pan de Toni” after Toni, the kitchen boy. Now we know it as Panettone!
