Rich Italian History

Each time you hand over a Christmas basket containing Panettone or each time you down a slice, you are partaking in a rich Italian history that dates centuries back to the Roman Empire. The origin of this rich Italian cake-like dough is tied to varying legends. The two most accepted across all of Italy is in the name Toni.

The first Legend talks about a noble named Ughetto Degli Atellani who wanted to marry Adalgisa, the daughter of a poor baker, Toni, in the 1400s. To win over her heart, he feigned being a baker and unintentionally invented a bread filled with butter, eggs, yeast, candied peel, and raisins. The bread was so famous that the Italian duke at the time, Ludovica il Moro Sforza fostered its growth and acceptance with the name Pan del Ton “Toni’s Bread”

Another legend describes a man named Toni, a helper to the Court Chef, who invented this dough by including everything he had available to serve as a dessert as the Chef didn’t feel what he had prepared was good enough.

Regardless of which legend is true, Panettone became famous again at the hands of Angelo Motta, the name behind the renown company, Motta, in 1919, who brought a new twist to the traditional flat Italian sweet cake-like bread. His version was made to rise three to seven times higher than the original Panettone while filling it up with raisins, flavorings, candied orange peels, and lots more. Soon his Panettone became famous, and a rival arrived using the same recipe. Together, both companies led Panettone from an Italian home Christmas dessert to a worldwide industry offering Panettone to the rest of the world.
