Description

Baked in Sicily, Italy using slow natural leavening, Bronte Dolci Pear and Modica PGI Chocolate Panettone departs from standard candied-citrus holiday loaves by pairing tender pear pieces with cold-processed Modica chocolate flakes.

Rooted in a 16th-century Sicilian chocolate-making tradition introduced during the Spanish rule of the County of Modica, Modica PGI chocolate is worked at low temperatures without conching, leaving cane sugar crystals intact for a distinct crystalline snap and intense cocoa depth. Combined with the delicate orchard sweetness of pears inside a soft, fragrant crumb, this specialty panettone serves as a distinctive holiday centerpiece, dessert course, or rare culinary gift.
