1Pandoro

Pandoro, a star-shaped Christmas cake from Verona, is another Italian holiday favorite. Unlike panettone, pandoro is traditionally plain and dusted with powdered sugar, giving it a snowy appearance. Its buttery, soft crumb makes it a delightful treat, often sliced horizontally and arranged in a star pattern for a festive presentation. With its delicate vanilla flavor and light texture, pandoro is a versatile dessert, enjoyed on its own or with a drizzle of cream or chocolate.
