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."
