The tradition of panettone tasting
Panettone is a traditional cake that comes to us straight from Italy, although this specialty has been exported to many other countries around the world over the decades. Panettone originally comes from the Lombardy and Piedmont regions, where its consumption is a Christmas tradition.
Panettone is prepared at Christmas time for the whole family to enjoy. Traditionally, part of the panettone is also saved to eat on the feast of Saint Blaise.
But is panettone only eaten at Christmas, or can it still be enjoyed throughout the rest of the year?
Is panettone only eaten at Christmas?
Although panettone is traditionally a specialty of the festive season, it can actually be eaten all year round! In fact, if you’re a panettone lover, you can technically buy it in the height of summer, or at the first stirrings of autumn, to share with friends and family when you really feel like it.
However, while panettone can be eaten all year round, it can be hard to find in the shops, which often still follow the cyclical pattern of offering it for sale during the festive season.
Where to buy panettone the rest of the year?
