Panettone: Foolproof Gifts, Wrapped and Ready

A slice of panettone and a flute of prosecco is hard to beat — perhaps only rivaled by the same slice of panettone and a cup of coffee. This sweet, dome-shaped yeast bread filled with raisins and candied fruit peel originated in Milan and became a household staple in 1925 when Milanese baker Angelo Motta began its commercial production. Today, over 100 million panettone are produced by Italian bakeries each holiday season, an impressive number for a country of less than 60 million people. 

Raisins, candied citrus, chocolate, cherry, fig, Sicilian almond, saffron, chestnut, gianduja…so many flavors, but where to start? How about Rustichella d’Abruzzo, our most popular brand (check out our Four of a Kind bundle). Tradition is good, but so is a little innovation now and again: this Dubai-Style Panettone is what you love about panettone with a Middle Eastern flair. For those looking for dramatic presentation, the limited-edition line by Dolce&Gabbana in collaboration with Fiasconaro is perfect. Need something that fits in a stocking? Check out this Pandorino & Panettonciniby Rustichella d’Abbruzo. We even have a gluten-free panettone! Love the cake, but not the fillings? Go clean with a classic Pandoro. 

So many flavors and styles and different price points! All wrapped and ready to go!  See them all right here. When they’re gone, they’re gone, so order now!
