2Panettone

No Italian Christmas is complete without panettone, a tall, fluffy bread cake that originated in Milan. This sweet bread is filled with raisins, candied orange, and lemon zest, giving it a soft, delicate texture. It’s often sliced and served with mascarpone or chocolate sauce for a decadent treat. Panettone has become a symbol of Italian Christmas traditions, with families and friends sharing it as both a dessert and a breakfast treat during the holiday season.
