| Olivieri 1882 – Panettone direct from Italy |
| |
| Since 1882, the Olivieri family has been making panettone by hand in the Northern Italian city of Arzignano, using only the highest-quality ingredients and recipes that have remained largely unchanged. These panettone are the real deal, and have been recognized by the Gambero Rosso food guide and won the 2019 International Great Taste Awards in London. Whether you're looking for a traditional panettone or one filled with chocolate, pear, peach, or apricots and salted caramel, rest assured that these panettone (and their Veronese cousin, pandoro) are made with a process that's been refined by generations of the Olivieri family!
