Rustichella d'Abruzzo Panettone with Cherry

** Preorder for December! **

A unique panettone from Rustichella d'Abruzzo. This rich, buttery dome-shaped brioche bread is studded with candied Amarene (black Morello cherries) and scented with natural vanilla. The dough is made with a special natural yeast and allowed to rise three times—or almost 20 hours—before baking.

Panettone is traditionally served after the Christmas meal along with a glass of dessert wine or bubbly wine, accompanied by dishes of mixed nuts, dried fruit, torrone and other holiday confections. Panettone can be warmed for a few minutes in a very hot oven and served with crème anglaise or fresh cream whisked with mascarpone. Leftover Panettone makes a delicious French toast or bread pudding.

This true Italian artisanal tradition is wrapped in a lively red checkered paper and due to its nature, available in limited quantities.
