A Bright Twist on Tradition
Hand-wrapped and tied with a shimmering ribbon, this golden cake carries the bright perfume of Sorrento lemons. It's one of the most delicious panettone we’ve ever tasted! Albertengo’s Sorrento Lemon Panettone is a fragrant holiday cake that swaps the classic raisins for lightly candied Sorrento lemons. You can almost smell the heavenly scent right through the wrapping!
Each bite is airy, citrusy, and light, with the natural sweetness of sun-ripened lemons lifting the rich, buttery dough. It will melt in your mouth, and the aroma and flavor of the Sorrento lemon will drive you to distraction.
Why It’s Special
This limited-production panettone has earned cult status among citrus lovers—even drawing a nod from The New York Times. Marian Burros wrote, "[Sorrento Lemon Panettone] .... from Albertengo arrived too late for inclusion on last year's list, but I'm still smitten. It is soft and buttery, and its candied lemon replaces the conventional raisins and candied citron."
Customers call it “the best lemon panettone ever.” Says Nancy, "Do NOT hesitate to purchase this Lemon Panettone!!! I LOVE Lemon Panettone and Sorrento Lemon Panettone-Albertengo is THE BEST!! The luscious flavor is so lemony, the texture is soft and moist, and the candied fruit is soft and chewy. I will buy no other Lemon Panettone as I've found the best! I've ordered 4 this year. I intended to give a couple as hostess gifts, but I'm rethinking that idea, ha ha ha."

FAQ
How should I store my panettone?
Keep in a cool, dry place. Once opened, wrap tightly or store in an airtight container.
How long will it stay fresh?
Unopened, panettone stays fresh for several months thanks to its natural leavening. Once cut, enjoy within 5–7 days.
Can I freeze panettone?
Yes! This cake freezes beautifully. Slice into portions, wrap well, and thaw at room temperature.
How should I eat my panettone?
Panettone can be cut into slices or wedges, or simply torn off in chunks. It’s wonderful on its own, or lightly toasted and slathered with butter. It also makes a decadent French toast or bread pudding.
What makes Albertengo panettone different from supermarket panettone?
Albertengo uses natural fermentation, rich butter and eggs, and carefully sourced fruits—resulting in a cake that is lighter, more aromatic, and deeply flavorful.
