A classic Italian treat, we think you’ll love serving or gifting this Classic Panettone made out of the Abruzzo region of Italy. This super soft, pillowy, eggy bread is studded with candied dried fruits, citrus notes and hints of vanilla. Similar to the softest brioche or challah you’ve had, but with a mild sweetness. The brioche is made with a special natural yeast and the dough rises three times—or almost 20 hours—before baking. Traditionally served after the Christmas meal in Italian households, celebrate your own holiday festivities with this gorgeous treat. We especially love the attention to flavor and quality, all wrapped up in lively green paper with a celestial design.

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!
