Product description
The Italian Christmas gingerbread is the panettone, with its 500 years of tradition. It was named after a baker's apprentice, Antonio, who by accident spilled the dried fruit prepared for the Christmas cake onto the bread dough. The prince of Milan liked the results so much that he named this sweet cake resembling our kuglof but lighter in texture after the apprentice, and the pan del Toni thus became panettone.
