Holiday traditions are sacred in many families. Whether you enjoy baking Christmas cookies, are looking forward to playing dreidel with the cousins, or just enjoy seeing the shimmering lights everywhere, these go-tos are what make this season so magical. And while we would never suggest skipping a holiday tradition (unless you want to), what if you added a new favorite tradition to the lineup this year? Giada De Laurentiis suggests you start an Italian family tradition by enjoying a delicious Italian panettone this year.
The Italian chef is selling a decadent double chocolate panettone on her Giadzy website for $73 (and $67 for members), which ships nationwide. This is a chocolate-lovers version of the beloved sweet Christmas treat. Instead of the usual dried and candied fruit topping, though, this panettone is made with milk and dark chocolate — um, yes please!
This delicious cake-like dessert is made in Italy by top artisan bakery Olivieri, who makes theirs with four times more eggs than a typical recipe for an “ultra-rich and luxurious” taste and a “moist, tender crumb.” As if the Italian panettone is not gift enough, it comes in a custom-designed box that features a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors. This is so pretty that you’ll want to keep it!
For best results, store the panettone in an airtight container and warm it up in the oven before serving. The rich dish can make a fun coffee-and-chocolate snack by the slice, or serve as an extra-decadent French Toast bread on Christmas morning. The latter is how one happy customer used it, saying in a review, “Although this is absolutely delicious on its own, it makes the best French toast. So soft inside, crispy edges and delectable! Love this panettone!”
Someone else recommended eating it “in a very traditional way” like they’ve been doing: “with cappuccino in the morning for breakfast!” Others had one complaint: that this panettone is only available for a limited time. “Wish this was available year round its so good!”
Order one of De Laurentiis’ double chocolate panettone before they inevitability sell out. It might just become your new favorite holiday tradition!
