Soft Wheat Flour · Water · Pasteurized Fresh Egg Yolks · Butter · Dottati di Cosenza PDO Figs · Dark Chocolate Chips · Sugar · Natural Yeast · Calabrian Chestnut Honey · Salt
The making of Bruzio begins long before the dough is prepared, with the careful handling of the figs: after being sun-dried, the Dottati DOP figs are baked in the oven for a few minutes and then broken by hand, so as to preserve their soft flesh rather than turning them into a paste. The sourdough starter, refreshed three times, is used to prepare the first evening batch of dough. In the morning, during the second kneading, Calabrian chestnut honey partially replaces the sugar and adds aromatic depth, while butter and egg yolks build the structure. Finally, at low speed, the fillings are added: fig pieces and dark chocolate chips, carefully measured so the chocolate doesn’t weigh down the dough. Shaping, proofing in paper cups, baking through to the center, and cooling upside down complete a panettone dense panettone .

TASTING NOTES
The most rustic of the four, and the one most closely tied to the countryside. The Fichi Dottati DOP figs from Cosenza, a variety unique in the world, offer a rich sweetness and the aroma of ripe figs, complemented by chestnut honey with a hint of the forest. The 75% dark chocolate provides a contrasting element—dark and bitter—and holds the whole together. A dense slice, to be savored slowly.

Reviews
The sold-out signs speak for themselves. Our customers’ words speak even louder.
These are the words of those who chose U Re Italo—and never went back to panettone .
An panettone that won me over right away. Authentic flavors and aromas of Calabria, made with carefully selected ingredients sourced entirely from the region: from Rossano oranges to Sibari clementines, from Rocca Imperiale lemons to Calabrian licorice, all the way to the exquisite passito di Saracena. A true masterpiece!
A product of exceptional quality, enhanced by the unique aroma of organic Calabrian Clementines from Sibari and Italian sultanas. A refined and authentic taste experience.
What a treat—especially the candied fruit! Soft, fragrant, and incredibly flavorful, they make this panettone special.
Wonderful products, a true highlight of our region. Authentic flavors, high-quality ingredients, and craftsmanship that shines through with every bite!
I've never tasted a panettone before! It's soft, fragrant, and perfectly balanced—you can really taste the quality of the ingredients used.
