\nYes… the Holidays are still moving along here and with one down and\u00a03 more to go (New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day\u00a0and La Befana) the pressing question here is what to serve at the Holiday table-Panettone or Pandoro (both are sweet Italian dessert breads)? If you are looking for something that says tradition then it is the traditonal Panettone Milanese, (coming from Milan)\u00a0the king of the Holiday season.\u00a0 Legend has it that it was first served at the banquet table of Ludivico il Moro at the Sforzi castle (in Milan)\u00a0on Christmas Day in 1495. It was called ‘il pane confezionati con acini di uva’<\/strong> or in Latin ‘il panis quidam acinis uvae confectus<\/strong> or in English ‘bread with raisin confections’.<\/strong>
\nOn the other hand Pandoro Veronese (originating in Verona) has a legend that dates its’ origins to the year 1260, it was called\u00a0 ‘Nadalin’ and was made for the Holiday Feast of the Della Scala nobility. When\u00a0 study was done here, 7 out of\u00a0 10 Italians were found to find\u00a0both -Pandoro and Panettone\u00a0irreplaceable for their Holiday table. And the study found that 75.4% buy\u00a0 Pannettone and 75.3% buy Pandoro. So this means that there is probably no choosing over one or the other.\u00a0They are bought in pairs since both breads have their own distinctive tastes and make an easy and festive dessert after a Holiday meal or for a Holiday coffee break.
\nIn Italy it is becoming more difficult to locate freshly baked versions of the two, the factory produced versions are easier to find and more economical. But one thing is for certain with Pandoro and Panettone at your table your meal will always feel like a special one and whoever is at the table will utter an ‘oohh’ in antcipation at the moment that the first slice is cut.
\nLet us know what is your favorite? Panettone or Pandoro-no matter what country you live in…
