About Panettone
Produced in Milan over 500 years ago, Panettone has become an iconic symbol
of Italian Christmas, gracing every table! The secret to its premium quality
lies in the slow, natural fermentation process, where a long leavening period with a livable mother of dough results in an unparalleled soft texture richly studded with candied fruits and raisins.
Cultural Significance
In Italy, the arrival of Christmas is incomplete without panettone. Families often gather to share this sweet bread, passing down recipes and stories from generation to generation. In many households, the act of baking and sharing panettone is a cherished ritual, embodying the spirit of togetherness.
At Mercato Gourmet, we source and import incredible produce directly from small family farms and producers in Italy and beyond weekly to Hong Kong. We provide the highest-quality seasonal produce. This year, we are so proud to introduce our best-quality Panettone & Pandoro collection to you.
Panettone in Hong Kong
As panettone traveled beyond Italy, it found its way to diverse culinary landscapes, including Hong Kong. Here, our Panettone & Pandoro collection have created exciting variations, incorporating flavors such as Pistachio, chocolate, Mocha and even savory ingredients. This fusion of Italian tradition with Asian flavors has led to unique interpretations that cater to local tastes.
Pairing and Serving Suggestions
Panettone can be enjoyed in various ways. Pair it with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine for a delightful experience. In Hong Kong, many enjoy it with a side of tea, embracing the local culture while savoring this Italian classic. For a fun twist, consider toasting slices of panettone and serving them with mascarpone cheese or ice cream.
