Natural Panettone Flavoring

With its gourmet notes of butter, raisins, candied fruit and citrus zest, panettone is the Italian Christmas dessert par excellence. This imposing filled brioche is present on every Italian table at Christmas, delighting young and old with its sweetness and fruity flavors. Made with sourdough, panettone has a touch of acidity that is very pleasant to the taste. Often served with a light mascarpone cream, jam or sabayon, panettone is shrouded in mystery: legend has it that the recipe was conceived around the 15th century, and has been made year after year in the laboratories of the greatest pastry chefs, as well as in the intimate setting of family kitchens.

The natural aroma of panettone will flavor your hot chocolates, coffees and other lattes, but you can also use it to enhance the flavor of your brioches, cakes and, of course, to reinforce the character of your panettones. To impress your guests, why not try making your own yogurt and ice cream flavored with natural panettone? Although it is a sweet dish, panettone can also be used in savory recipes. Italians usually eat leftover panettone the day after Christmas, in turkey stuffing instead of bread, for example. But it is also delicious toasted, for cheese or pâté, so you can use its natural panettone aroma to flavor your shortbread and other buns with the same function.
