We take panettone very seriously at Sous Chef and we believe we hold the best selection of brands in the UK, and perhaps even in Europe. Panettone has an ancient, almost mythological origin. It seems that, even before the year 1000, families in Milan used to gather at Christmas to eat a “big bread”, offered by the head of the family to all the tablemates as a sign of communion. But, according to legend, it was a Milanese baker, whose name was Ulivo degli Atellani, who invented a cake made from eggs, honey, butter, and raisins, to conquer the heart of Adalgisa, the woman he loved. In the early 20th century, two enterprising Milanese bakers began to produce panettone in large quantities for the rest of Italy. In 1919, Angelo Motta started producing his eponymous brand of cakes. It was also Motta who revolutionised the traditional panettone by giving it its tall domed shape by making the dough rise three times, for almost 20 hours, before cooking, giving it its now-familiar light texture. The recipe was adapted shortly after by another baker, Gioacchino Alemagna, around 1925, who also gave his name to a popular brand that still exists today. Fruit should be evenly distributed throughout the bake, and the aromas of butter, vanilla, raisins and orange should fill the air with its festive scent. Before finding out which are the 5 Best Panettone that you really should try for a truly Italian Christmas, let’s analyze some data related to the export of this dessert to the world. There is much expectation to understand if in 2019 the market trend will be as positive as last year: over 500 million euros of Italian Christmas sweets (mainly pandoro and panettone) exported from Italy to many countries around the globe and +10% compared to the previous year.It is possibly mentioned in a contemporary recipe book written by Italian Bartolomeo Scappi, personal chef to popes and emperors during the time of Charles V. The oldest and most certain attestation of the panettone is found in a register of expenses of the Borromeo college of Pavia in 1599: on 23 December of that year in the list of courses provided for lunch Christmas costs also appear for 5 pounds of butter, 2 pounds of raisins and 3 ounces of spices given to the baker to make 13 "loaves" to be given to college students on Christmas Day. [10] The first recorded association of panettone with Christmas can be found in the Italian writings of the 18th century illuminist Pietro Verri. He refers to it as pan de ton ("luxury bread").

Collegio Borromeo . Retrieved 17 August 2022.Unlike many panettone makers, Nicola Olivieri and his team of bakers make panettone throughout the year. Olivieri 1882 has been making panettone since, well, 1882, with Nicola being the sixth generation to run the bakery. All of the bakery's loaves are produced with natural fermentation, and in the classic version, Nicola quadruples the amount of egg yolks usually in used a standard panettone recipe. We taste-tested a regular and a chocolate-chip loaf, and they both had a pillowy lightness with excellent distribution of the mix-ins. We especially loved the plumpness of the dried fruit in the classic version.
