favorite holiday tradition:

my family are notorious procrastinators (and also christmas-loving jews)

so inevitably we'd end up getting our tree on christmas eve when all the lots were closed.

take the tree, leave the money, no questions asked.

Traditional Pandoro and Panettone by Pasticceria Biasetto

Without the raisins and the candied citrus present in Panettone, a Pandoro’s quality relies solely on first-grade fresh ingredients. Our Pandoro, made by award winning pastry chef Luigi Biasetto, in Veneto, is made with an ultra carefully selected list of top-notch ingredients, sourced by Mr. Biasetto wherever his search for the best leads him:

pandoro:

Stone milled flour by Molino Quaglia
Natural mother yeast, lovingly “nurtured” by Mr. Biasetto for 16 years
Fresh eggs from local corn-fed hens
Italian DOP Acacia honey from the Italian Alps
Pure high altitude butter
Organic Vanilla from Tahiti

in addition for panettone:

Untreated orange peel from Sicily
Organic raisins
Organic Vanilla Bourbon from Madagascar

Biasetto's masterpiece of elegance and balance, is achieved following a traditional recipe and by applying maniacal care to all the steps of raising and baking. Rustic home-made appearance with delicate fresh butter aroma, a soft and silky consistency, a perfectly round and rich taste, make Pandoro Biasetto a clear choice for fans of this delicious Italian tradition.

Multiple winner of Best Italian Pastry Chef Award, chef Luigi Biasetto achieves a Panettone which tops the world’s best panettone lists year after year.

Cloud-like soft, elastic and velvety, Panettone by Pasticceria Biasetto egg-laden bright yellow dough immediately jumps to the eye; a first bite reveals a perfectly balanced freshness, a clean flavor with delicate notes of honey and vanilla, enlivened by pulpy raisins and candied orange .
