Loison Panettone: a quick guide on how to pick a flavor!

It is not so easy to find your perfect Panettone among all the equally enticing Loison versions:
classic flavours, unusual combinations, fruity aromas and a variety of formats
here’s our advice to choose the right panettone.

THE UNMISTAKABLE FLAVOUR OF TRADITION

Mandarin-flavoured Panettone. What does Christmas taste like? It’s the one that conjures up the holiday atmosphere, filled with joy and warmth, it is the citrusy scent that wafts out as soon as you unwrap the panettone with Late Mandarin of Ciaculli, which has been a Slow Food praesidium since 2004.
Available in the collections: Fruit and Flowers (500g and 1kg), Gold (750g), Puppies (500g), Limited Edition Tin Box (750g).

Panettone Classico a.D. 1476. It really is true, the predilection for the Classic flavour is innate! Plus, if we add a rich dough, the result of over 72 hours of patient work, and highly selected candied Sicilian Oranges and Citrons of Diamante without sulphites it’s a sure hit!
Available in the Collections: Genesis (500g and 1kg), Gold (750g), Hat Box (500g and 1kg), Milan (500g and 1kg), Puppies (500g), Christmas (500g), Limited Edition Tin Box (750g), Gift (750g).

Regal Chocolate Panettone. At Christmas, give yourself the gift of chocolate: it is delicious, banishes stress, everybody likes it, adults and children alike, and makes everyone happy! The Regal Chocolate panettone is even yummier thanks to the rich filling and chips made with selected Grand Crus from Suth America.

of our region.

FOR FOODIES SEEKING UNUSUAL COMBINATIONS

Pistachio Matcha Panettone. Not just any Pistachios, at Loison we use fine Green Pistachios of Bronte DOP, Slow Food Praaesidium, combined with Matcha Tea from the Uji hills, Kyoto. Two precious ingredients through which East and West meet.
Available in the Collections: Genesis (500g and 1kg), Gold (750g), Limited Edition Tin Box (750g).

Panettone NeroSale. This panettone is enriched with a salted caramel cream, the recipe for which has been developed by Dario Loison, and with bitter chocolate nuggets. It is an exuberant balance of sweet and salty where one does not overwhelm the other, on the contrary, they both stand out in a lively ensemble.
Available in the Collections: Fruit and Flowers (500g and 1kg), Gold (750g), Limited Edition Tin Box (750g).

Liquorice and Saffron Panettone. Intended to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Loison Pasticceri, the Liquorice and Saffron Panettone was a winning bet for Dario Loison, because this panettone is ever more popular with chefs, foodies and fans due to the extraordinary and successful combination of DOP Liquorice of Sibari and choice saffron, pistils only, of Iranian origin.
Available in the Fruit and Flowers Collection (500g and 1kg).

Apricot and Ginger Panettone. The idea was born in 2009 to create a combination that was not aligned with conventional tastes but that would meet the most sophisticated and demanding palates, already accustomed to Loison products. Here, the roundness of semi-candied apricot is lovingly paired to the zesty and spicy taste of candied ginger.
Available in the Fruit and Flowers Collection (500g and 1kg).

Noël Pear and Spices Panettone. When Christmas is around the corner, the air fills with aromas and scents that conjure up the holiday atmosphere: a heady mixture of cinnamon, cloves and star anise bursts out when you taste a Noël panettone, enriched with candied pears and spices, the Christmas recipe par excellence signed by Dario Loison.
