Fiasconaro Panettone with Candied Apricot and Modica IGP Chocolate, 2.2 lb 1kg

The hand-wrapped traditional panettone by Fiasconaro is elevated with candied apricot pieces and unique Modica chocolate PGI (the denomination of the Protected Geographical Indication assigned by the EU to ensure the authenticity of the product). The famous Italian specialty chocolate is made in Modica, Sicily, according to the ancient recipe, where cocoa beans are manually ground, resulting in a grainy, unique texture and more aromatic profile. 

With the holiday season approaching, authentic Italian seasonal cakes are one of the most eagerly awaited delights worldwide! Along with bisciola and rustic nadalin, panettone is a traditional bread-like cake, first made in the 15th century. Panettone was created by a young cook, Toni, serving for the Duke of Milan, trying to whip up something delicious for a luxurious banquet to replace burnt dessert. The young cook saved the day with a rich, sweetened brioche bread-like cake embellished with raisins and candied fruit - which soon was named Toni’s bread - “Pane di Toni” in Italian. You can find all the tempting flavors of panettone and more in our carefully curated collection of Italian holiday products!
