Christmas comes with tradition and a beloved one is the gift of panettone or pandoro! Both Panettone and Pandoro are synonymous with Christmas in Italy and are enjoyed throughout the holiday season, from December until New Year’s Day, and sometimes even until the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th. Caputo’s is your panettone headquarters!
Panettone is a tall, dome-shaped sweet bread that originated in Milan. It is essentially a fruitcake, but with a unique, light, and airy texture unlike any other. Italy’s other classic holiday bread comes from Verona– Pandoro. Pandoro is a dazzling, eight-pointed star of a cake, literally translating to “Bread of Gold.”
Many people give the gift of panettone or pandoro throughout the season. Exchanging beautifully wrapped Panettone or pandoro is a cherished gesture of goodwill, shared among friends, colleagues, and family members. It’s a gift that represents the warmth and generosity of the season. You might find it as the centerpiece of a Christmas table until it is ready to be sliced and enjoyed with an espresso or glass of moscato during dessert.
The classic panettone is a light, yeasty sweet bread that has pieces of candied citrus in it. The classic pandoro is known for its simplicity and a buttery, cloud-like texture.
