Panettone is the signature product of Iginio Massari Alta Pasticceria and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of traditional Italian panettone. Made according to a recipe refined through decades of research and expertise, it showcases Massari’s mastery of natural leavening and artisanal pastry making.
The dough undergoes a meticulous process involving four stages of fermentation and more than 65 hours of production, resulting in an exceptionally soft, airy texture and a distinctive honeycomb crumb structure. Enriched with butter, egg yolks, raisins, and premium candied Calabrian orange peel, the panettone offers a complex aromatic profile with notes of vanilla, mandarin, butter, and candied fruit.
It is finished with a delicate almond glaze topped with whole almonds and sugar crystals, adding texture and fragrance. Combining tradition, scientific precision, and premium ingredients, Massari’s Panettone has become an icon of Italian pastry and a benchmark for naturally leavened holiday cakes.
