Rustichella d'Abruzzo Fig & Chocolate Panettone - 26.45 oz (750 g)
 
Studded with plump dried figs and dark chocolate chips and scented with natural vanilla, Rustichella d'Abruzzo's Fig & Chocolate Panettone is an elegant addition to the holiday table. This rich, delicate bread is made with a special natural yeast, and the dough is left to rise three times (for almost 20 hours total) to create an ideally tender and flavorful bite.
 
Panettone is traditionally served after the Christmas meal along with a glass of dessert wine or bubbly wine, accompanied by dishes of mixed nuts, dried fruit, torrone and other holiday confections. Panettone can be warmed for a few minutes in a very hot oven and served with crème anglaise or fresh cream whisked with mascarpone. Leftover Panettone makes a delicious French toast or bread pudding.
 
This true Italian artisanal tradition is wrapped in festive purple checkered paper and due to its nature, available in limited quantities.
 
Tips: 
Enjoy this true Italian artisan tradition after the Christmas meal with a glass of dessert wine or some bubbly. Add extra festive flavor to the finale of your feast and serve slices of panettone next to dishes of mixed nuts, dried fruit and torrone. Or, make it the main event—warm thick wedges up in the oven on high temperature for a few minutes and serve with crème anglaise or fresh cream whisked with mascarpone.
