Panettone with Balsamic cream in beautiful gift packaging

Panettone d’Autore – Fig, Chocolate & Balsamic Cream.

A panettone like you would only find at the best bakeries in Italy. This festive treat is traditionally made using a multi-day fermentation process, giving the dough a silky smooth texture. Each panettone is filled by hand with carefully selected figs, creamy chocolate, and a refined balsamic cream—a rare combination that brings together tradition and sophistication.

Panettone is not an everyday cake, but a piece of Italian heritage. The precious ingredients, the long preparation time, and the craftsmanship make this an exclusive product. Perfect to give as a gift, to share during a festive dinner, or as a showpiece with coffee or dessert wine.

This is not just a cake. This is an experience. A celebration of taste, tradition, and pure temptation.

What is panettone?

Panettone is much more than a luxury cake: it is a centuries-old Italian tradition dating back to 15th-century Milan. According to legend, the first panettone was invented by a young cook named Toni, who used simple bread dough, sugar, butter, and raisins to create a festive cake for Christmas. “Pan de Toni” quickly became the symbol of Italian hospitality and festivity.

Making a real panettone is an art that takes days. The dough rises slowly, sometimes for more than 48 hours, giving it a silky soft and airy texture. The high-quality ingredients, long rising time, and traditional craftsmanship make panettone expensive—but every bite tells you it's worth it.

How to best enjoy panettone? Cut thick slices and serve them for a festive breakfast, as dessert after dinner with a glass of dessert wine, or simply with coffee or tea. Briefly heat a slice in the oven and let the chocolate and cream melt slightly for the ultimate taste sensation. Also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dash of extra balsamic cream.

Panettone is not just a treat you eat – it is an experience, a piece of Italian culture on your table, and a perfect gift for the holidays or for a special moment.
