This is part of our Italian Panettone & Pandoro Collection.
A rich, warming take on traditional Panettone, naturally leavened from Lievito Madre and generously folded with plump raisins soaked in aromatic Jamaican rum and pieces of rich dark chocolate.
Slow fermentation gives the dough its characteristic lightness and beautifully soft texture, while the rum-soaked fruit brings deep, fragrant warmth against the bittersweet chocolate. Importantly, the rum is absorbed into the raisins themselves before they are folded through the dough, creating little bursts of flavour throughout each slice.
The combination is indulgent without losing the airy character that makes Panettone so distinctive — rich chocolate, succulent fruit and the unmistakable aroma of rum coming together as the cake is sliced.
If rum and raisin ice cream is a favourite, consider this its decidedly more Christmassy cousin. Serve generously by the slice, perhaps with a glass of dark rum alongside for those inclined to lean fully into it.
