The naturally leavened Italian brioche called Panettone is a Christmas tradition, embodying the spirit of celebration and togetherness, and the artisanal bakers at Bree’osh have perfected the art of crafting this luxurious treat.

The topping is made of sugar, almond, egg white, cornstarch, and pearl sugar. A panettone includes 8-10 servings and has a two-week shelf life.
