Panettone Classico is the signature holiday cake of Panificio Davide Longoni and a refined interpretation of the traditional Milanese panettone. Made with natural sourdough starter (lievito madre), it undergoes a slow artisanal fermentation process that gives the cake its light texture, rich aroma, and excellent digestibility.

The recipe combines soft candied orange and citron peels with carefully selected raisins, creating a balanced flavor profile that highlights the quality of the ingredients rather than excessive sweetness. Longoni uses premium butter and artisanal candied fruit produced by long-time collaborator Marco Colzani, whose low-temperature candying process helps preserve the fruit’s natural aromas and texture.

The result is a panettone with a delicate crumb, characteristic “shredding” structure, and a harmonious blend of citrus and buttery notes. Widely regarded as one of the finest artisan panettoni from Milan, it embodies Davide Longoni’s philosophy of combining traditional craftsmanship with meticulous ingredient sourcing and modern baking expertise.
