WHY WE LOVE IT

• Italy’s legendary holiday panettone takes on a new level of luxury in this delectable version, enriched with a creamy filling of premium dark chocolate and roasted hazelnuts. Famous for its airy texture and buttery, chocolate flavor, this towering yeast-leavened cake is perfect for breakfast, brunch or dessert. Serve slices with freshly brewed espresso or a sweet dessert wine. You can also use the panettone to make extra decadent French toast or bread pudding. A wonderful gift, this festive treat is handcrafted at Verona’s famous Pasticceria Scarpato, where artisan bakers have been using the same time-honored recipes and techniques since 1888.
