Albertengo Panettone Tradizionale Classico

2.2 pound cake - Italy

The Heart of Italian Holiday Baking
Hand-wrapped in elegant, glossy paper and tied with a ribbon, Albertengo’s Panettone Tradizionale Classico is the essence of Italy’s most beloved holiday tradition. Made from a soft, naturally leavened dough enriched with butter and eggs, this golden loaf is studded with plump raisins and jewel-like pieces of candied orange peel. Each slice reveals a tender, airy crumb, rich in aroma and flavor—buttery, lightly sweet, and perfectly balanced with bright notes of fruit. It’s the panettone that defines what “classic” truly means.

Why It’s Special
This traditional Milanese-style panettone is crafted from Albertengo’s family recipe, perfected over generations in Torre San Giorgio, Piedmont. Using a natural sourdough starter, the dough is given the time it needs to rise slowly, developing complexity and flavor that can’t be rushed. The delicate almond-hazelnut glaze on top adds a subtle sweetness and nutty finish, elevating each bite into a moment of pure Italian comfort.

Baked in limited quantities, this cake is as beautiful to give as it is to share. Serve it plain or lightly toasted, alongside espresso, dessert wine, or a dollop of mascarpone cream.
