Loison Panettone Amarena – Panettone with Candied Black Cherries

The Panettone Amarena is a study in contrast and harmony — a tender golden crumb kissed by bursts of ruby-red cherry. Naturally leavened for over 72 hours using Loison’s heritage sourdough, its texture is airy yet buttery, yielding a delicate mouthfeel that melts away effortlessly. The Amarena cherries, prized in Italian patisserie for their deep color and sweet-tart flavor, weave through the dough like jewels, their syrupy perfume infusing every bite. The result is elegant and balanced: the fruit’s brightness cuts through the richness of butter, creating a refined sweetness that lingers with subtle floral undertones. Each slice evokes both celebration and comfort, the essence of festive Italian baking.

Breakfast Elegance – Enjoy with cappuccino or hot chocolate for a luxurious start to the day.

Dessert Companion – Serve with mascarpone, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream to enhance its cherry notes.

Wine Pairing – Pair with Moscato d’Asti, Lambrusco Dolce, or cherry-forward dessert wines for harmony in flavor.

Creative Twist – Use as a base for trifle, or toast lightly and top with melted chocolate and a touch of sea salt.

Wrapped in Loison’s signature paper, it is both a feast for the palate and a celebration of beauty — the perfect expression of Italy’s sweet craftsmanship.
