Panettone has no right to be so delicious.
It’s like fruitcake, but good. I miss it now lol
its at minimum 50% butter is why
The one in the picture is pandoro
It never stops weirding me out how learning Spanish has also made Italian borderline intelligible to me. I get why, it’s just strange to experience accidentally partially learning an extra language.
This unrelated comment inspired by reading the name and going ‘oh, that means golden bread’
French for me. Although I remember learning "pan d'or" was more like a French toast, but I dunno. So when I saw pandoro for the first time this Monday I'm ShopRite, it clicked for me the same way it did for you.
That being said, I'm from Jersey and was raised in traditional Italian American fashion, and neither pannetone nor pandoro were ever part of our family's traditions. My grandma focused more on mountains of dinner; dessert was just an afterthought.
Here in Canada in Ontario, up until about five years ago, they used to sell panettone everywhere during Christmas ... grocers used to stock them everywhere and about four or five different brands. Cheaper ones came in all plastic wrapping and more expensive ones came wrapped in plastic and contained in fancy decorative cardboard boxes. And back then, we had the choice of size and they were usually large sized.
Now we have limited supplies and the displays for them are even hard to find. We only have one brand now 'Massimo' and they are more the smaller size. Every year now, all my Italian Canadian friends go on a frenzy looking for them ... as soon as they come out, they disappear.
Don't know what happened to the supply but we don't see much of them any more.
There's a local Mercato near me that stocks all the different types. I prefer to get them from there anyway because Galen Weston doesn't need that money.
They charge 9 GREAT BRITISH POUNDS at Tesco (with the fucking clubcard) for the most insipid panetonne ever (ik the pic is showing pandoro I just needed to complain). Butter barely saved it... 😭
Christstollen in Germany isn't much better
I like it a lot more. Especially with that fake marzipan in the middle.
It's a nice cake but you're pretty much guaranteed to get powdered with sugar
