"Next After Stollen: The Delightful Sweet for Christmas - Panettone! Here’s What I Want to Buy!"
2021.12.07 published
This Year I Want to Try Something New♡
Stollen is a delightful treat that is enjoyed bit by bit until Christmas. When we were children, it didn't seem to be such a mainstream dessert, but nowadays, it has become a staple item for cake shops and confectioneries in this season, often preceding Christmas cakes.
Many people buy several kinds and compare different stollen.
Stollen is a traditional German treat, but recently, the Italian version known as “Panettone” (also called Panettone) has been gaining attention.
Like stollen, panettone is a treat to enjoy little by little while eagerly waiting for Christmas.
While stollen is a cake, panettone is a type of bread. The Danish dough is filled with fruits, nuts, chocolates, and spices, with each household or shop having its own unique recipe.
The name comes from the fact that it is leavened with a rare natural yeast called "panettone starter". This natural yeast has been traditionally passed down for over 100 years in northern Italy, and it's made and stored through a process of continuous feeding!
The original panettone starter is derived from bacteria found in the intestines of newborn calves after they drink colostrum, and it is rich in lactic acid bacteria (somewhat like yogurt...).
It is said to help smooth out the gluten network and improve elasticity.
Visually, it has a cute shape that resembles a muffin or brioche.
In Italy, it seems that Dolce & Gabbana also sells canned panettone.
It would definitely make a great souvenir!
Which Panettone Should I Buy First?
This article is about the still-new panettone.
First, let’s look at five recommended places to buy your first panettone.
① LESS @ Ebisu
Perhaps the most famous place for panettone in Tokyo is this shop.
It’s a specialty of the sweet shop “LESS by Gabriele Riva & Kanako Sakakura,” located behind Ebisu Garden Place.
They offer several flavors such as yuzu, chestnut, and chocolate, with each costing around 4000 yen.
The outer box is designed like an ornament, making it effortlessly stylish with a string attached for easy carrying.
Panettone is also available for purchase online.
For those who want to taste before buying, they offer single slices in-store!
② Eataly
When it comes to Italian food, Eataly is a go-to. They feature multiple types of panettone!
They have options from Bonifanti, Vergani, Muzzi Tommaso, and Galup. They focus on selecting authentic panettone made with traditional methods.
It makes you want to taste several kinds!
③ Bulgari
Bulgari, founded in Rome, also sells panettone at Bulgari Il Cioccolato.
Moreover, they offer a savory type as well, called Panettone Salato, which can be enjoyed outside of dessert or tea time.
The luxurious appearance is definitely impressive.
④ Costco
Surprisingly, Costco has been selling panettone around this time for a few years now.
The canister it comes in is adorable. (Panettone usually weighs close to 1 kg each, so the can is fairly large!)
⑤ Boulangerie Django
Boulangerie Django, a popular bakery located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, is also known for its delicious panettone.
It is distinctive in that it is sold year-round, not just during the Christmas season.
Despite being a preserved food, it is reputed to be fluffy and moist—not dry at all; I definitely want to try it!
➡️ They even shared the recipe on their blog!
