Italians are all very proud of their regional traits and fiercely protective of their local food traditions. Yet, panettone has managed to overcome regional boundaries to become a truly national cake. It is the star of Christmas both in Italy and at Carluccio's.
Our Italian bakers only make Panettone (and Pandoro Cake) between September & December, so even if we wanted to stock it all year round, we can’t — and that’s what makes them so special.
