What is Panettone?
Panettone is a traditional Italian festive cake, enjoyed especially during the Christmas and New Year season. This specialty originates from Milan.
The history of the modern panettone is closely linked to the Milanese baker Angelo Motta. In 1919, he refined the distinctive, tall, and airy shape that remains famous to this day. The use of sourdough yeast and an extended dough-processing period results in a Panettone with significantly more volume and a lighter texture.
Today, Panettone is produced both industrially and by Italian *pasticcerie* (pastry shops) using traditional artisanal methods.
How is this chocolate Panettone made?
It is made using a natural wheat flour sourdough, or *Lievito Madre*. The dough-processing stage spans approximately 72 hours and includes several slow resting phases.
After baking, the Panettone is cooled upside down for about 12 hours. This gives it its characteristic height and its distinctively light, airy crumb.
Small-batch production allows for particularly careful handling of ingredients and consistently high product quality.
