  • There is nothing more anticipated by Italians during the holiday season than panettone. This traditional Italian dessert offered throughout Italy and in Italian communities around the world is a tall, dome-shaped cake that has been leavened with yeast and enriched with delicious fruit. It has a perfectly light and airy texture, rich and buttery taste and is not very sweet.
    As panettone is still one of Italy’s most anticipated holiday desserts, this Christmas we want to make sure you buy the right traditional Italian panettone.
    I reviewed 7 of the top commercial panettone brands so I can recommend the best ones to get to impress your guests with a traditional Italian experience.

    The best Panettone I've ever tried outside of Italy (comparable to the pasticcerie around where I used to live in Milano) was from a bakery in Melbourne called Pane e Pizzico. I don't know if you can get them across Australia but if you're in Melbourne around Christmas it's a must.

    Little historical note:
    Panettone originated in 15th-century Milan, at the court of Duke Ludovic the Moor (the man who commissioned Leonardo’s Last Supper). Legend says that, during the preparations for a huge Christmas buffet, the cake, forgotten by mistake into the oven, almost charred. Toni, a little scullery boy, suggested the Duke’s chef to mix together what was left in the storage and prepare something. The chef agreed and, trembling, stood behind a curtain to spy on the reaction of Duke Ludovic and his guests. Everyone was enthusiastic and to the Duke, who wanted to know the name of that delicacy, the chef answered in Milanese dialect: "L'è ‘l pan del Toni" ("That's Toni's cake"). Since then, it has been called "pan de Toni” (aka. "panettone").

    USEFUL TIP FOR ALL:
    It is always advisable before eating a Panettone to keep it about half an hour near a source of heat (especially if it has been stored for days in a cool place !) so that the butter content inside it softens and the Panettone so it can better release all its typical aroma, all its fragrance.
    È sempre consigliabile, prima di mangiare un panettone, tenerlo per circa una mezz’oretta vicino a una fonte di calore (specialmente se è stato conservato per giorni in un posto fresco !), in modo che il burro contenuto dentro si ammorbidisca e il panettone sprigioni meglio tutto il suo aroma, tutta la sua fragranza.

      Wrong!
      Pasca- is the curds with butter and raisins etc.
      Panettone is the kulich, its usually home backed and taken to the church on Easternight to get the blessing on it.
      Its Christian Orthodox Church tradition.

    My experience with Pannettone is very brief, but so far I too find Maina the best. I became familiar with it because it is sold by Costco. I have since tried a brand I cannot remember with a Tiramisu flavor, which was not discernable as Tiramisu (very mild) and a quite expensive cherry one, which was dry, smaller than usual, and had at best a fleeting taste of cherry and very little fruit. I tried a very expensive "Exotic Fruits" style from Rainbow Grocery, similar to Maina in style, but not as good, less fruit, (and the fruits were not at all exotic) and 3 X the price. So far I am sticking with Maina. This Christmas experiment is a pistachio flavored one, which I'm holding off on until Christmas day. And I'm buying a couple of extra Maina for January. Thanks for a great video.

    You made me panettoni obsessed since this video. I tried a small one for taste. It tasted great but nothing special. I tasted like Dutch stol without the almond paste.
    Since there is so much to do about the mother yeast and fermentation proces I was hoping I would smell and taste it.
    I warmed it up in the air fryer on low temperature and it became soft like fresh baked and put butter on it. Great breakfast.

Ma di questi brand, piû facili da ottenere anche all'estero, credo che Maina sia il migliore, insieme a Bauli. Io in particolare sono cresciuta con il Bauli. Dovessi suggerire a qualcuno il suo primo panettone, andrei interamente di Bauli, ma io ho un bias. In ogni caso, vederti provare panettoni mi ha fatto sorridere. La vera esperienza natalizia

    To me Melegatti is the best because it is the one with the best candied orange peel, my idea is that many people don't like the candied orange peels in the panettone because they are just of low quality but the good staff is really good and Melegatti, at least last winter, used a very tasty and orangy candied peel (also they are the ones who invented the Pandoro)

    The panettone is pretty popular in South America, even in Peru where the Italian immigration was quite small compared to the other countries. Christmas without panettone is not real Christmas. The Peruvian panettone is pretty similar to the one of Milano. Obviously, the latino panettone is a little bit sweeter than the ones of Italy.

    I find in Australia the Aldi Panettone is a great “ bang per buck “ deal. 750 g for under $12 , made in Italy I think it’s their own brand called I Mantovani . Sure in Italy there are better options but here if you are on a budget or eat a few during the holiday season , or give them as gifts the Aldi one is a great value/ quality proposition in my opinion., the most important part being it’s Made in Italy ! In Italy I like Le Tre Marie, but I will try the Maina and the Bauli Verona style one too next time I’m there …..When in the UK the Selfridges Panettone is excellent , ( Made in Italy ) and they ship across the UK. Not cheap though , but very good.

    Hi Vincenzo,
    I’ve been a lover of panettone ever since I was a kid (I’m currently 41 years old). Madi Panettone was always a staple in our home around the holidays. (Maina is branded and sold as “Madi” in the United States).
    While I’ve tasted a number of different brands over the years, I had never participated in an official taste test…until now! My girlfriend and I loved your UA-cam video, and it inspired is to set up our own version. We called it “Panettone Wars.”
    We had five contestants, and my final rankings (including notes) were as follows:
    🥇 Madi (Maina) 🇮🇹 ➡️ 9/10
    -Appearance: Pretty and yellow. Breadlike.
    -Aroma: Well balanced. Fresh.
    -Texture: Firm. Breadlike. Less moist. Balanced.
    -Flavor: Breadlike. Punchy fruit. Wonderfully balanced and delicious.
    🥈 Balocco 🇮🇹 ➡️ 8/10
    -Appearance: Pretty and yellow. Very generous with fruit.
    -Aroma: Subtle. Pleasant.
    -Texture: Medium firmness and moisture. Well balanced.
    -Flavor: Delicate and delicious.
    🥉 Ferrara 🇮🇹 ➡️ 7/10
    -Appearance: Pretty and yellow.
    -Aroma: Strong and very sugary.
    -Texture: Soft. Incredibly moist. Doughy and cakey.
    -Flavor: Extremely sugary, sweet and flavorful.
    👎🏻 Bauli 🇮🇹 ➡️ 5/10
    -Appearance: Yellow. Sparse fruit. Very breadlike.
    -Aroma: Fresh. Fruity. Pleasant.
    -Texture: Hard. Dry. Breadlike.
    -Flavor: Plain. Bland. Boring.
    👎🏻👎🏻 Bauducco 🇧🇷 ➡️ 4/10
    -Appearance: Brown. Generous fruit. Messy.
    -Aroma: Very sweet. Artificial.
    -Texture: Very soft, cakey and moist.
    -Flavor: Sweet. Strong. Artificial. Strange. Unsettling.
    My girlfriend had the same notes about each panettone, but her rankings were as follows: Ferrara at #1, followed by Balocco, Madi and Bauli, with Bauducco landing in last place. Not surprisingly, the best panettone brands are all made in Italy!
    We have purchased 22 boxes of panettone since December, and we’re looking forward to enjoying slices every weekend from now until July! (Timing based on the listed expiration date).
    Thank you for being an avid supporter of panettone, and for inspiring others to enjoy this wonderfully delicious treat!!! 🙌🏻

      Hi, Vincenzo! 😃 Great to hear from you, brother! I hope you and your family are well!
      My girlfriend and I enjoyed all that panettone through end of July as planned, and while we were able to successfully digest it, we were sad that “Panettone Planning Season” had come to an end.
      The season started early for us this year, as we enjoyed our first slices of panettone on Sunday! 🥳 Bought a record 24 boxes this year (up 2 from last year), most of which were purchased from a small business in NY (BellaItalia Food Store) that imports panettone from Italy (ones we can’t typically find in the USA). We got 10 Maina, 10 Ferrara, and 4 Balocco. The slice of Maina (our first time ever trying it) was perfect…an absolutely magical experience! 🤤 We are also excited to attend this year’s New York Panettone Festival for the first time in December.
      The Ferrara is quite tasty, and is sweeter than the others. It is indeed Italian made (we now avoid Brazilian panettone like the plague)! 🙅🏻‍♂️ For me, it’s more of a dessert (cake) panettone, as opposed to the others, which are more like the everyday (sweet bread) variety. But we still enjoy the Ferrara for breakfast. I hope you enjoy the season as much as we will!

      Most of the panettone brands you see in stores are indeed imported from Italy, while some are imported from Brazil. Different stores tend to carry different brands, and some brands are more difficult to find than others. If the panettone’s origin is important to you (it certainly is to me), make sure to check the box before purchasing! But it all comes down to personal preference.
      Happy Panettone Planning Season!
