Saffron Panettone

Panettone, the feather-light Christmas cake enjoyed all over Italy, is one of my favorite holiday treats. I'm not alone in my love for the citrus infused cake. Each year we import more panettoni than we did the before and every year they sell out earlier than last holiday.

This saffron scented beauty is a stunner. I'm not a religious man, but this cake is heavenly and I bet this is what they'll be serving up there this Christmas, too. The oranges used inside this cake are grown in Sicily, but the other candied fruits you might find in a classic panettone are absent from the ingredient list. Instead the flavors remain delicate and soft so as not to over power the aroma and flavor of the saffron.

Beautiful inside, this cake is gorgeous on the outside as well, wrapped in bright yellow checkered packaging and tied with a bow. Reserve yours today or ship one to a friend who loves traditional holiday treats and rare food finds.
