Panettone

In Italian

Il Panettone è un tipico dolce milanese, associato alle tradizioni gastronomiche del Natale ed ampiamente diffuso in tutta Italia, nonostante sia un simbolo della gastronomia e della città di Milano.

In English

A large, round yeasted Italian fruit cake, traditionally eaten at Christmas. It's baked in a special tubular mould to give it height. They're beautifully packaged in tall decorated boxes and available from Italian delis and some larger supermarkets, although they're generally only available seasonally. Panettone can be served as a dessert, accompanied by sweet wine; it's also delicious toasted and spread with butter, or used in place of bread in a bread and butter pudding.
