It all begins the day before, with three feedings of the sourdough starter at four-hour intervals, until it triples in size and smells of milk and flowers. In the evening, the first dough is prepared: type 0 flour, yeast, some cream butter, pasteurized egg yolks, and sugar, left to rise for twelve hours. At dawn, the second dough is prepared, incorporating the remaining flour, salt, the remaining egg yolks, and organic honey, until the dough is shiny and elastic. Only at this point, on low speed, are the dough, the candied orange peel from Sibari, and the raisins—squeezed after soaking overnight Passito di Saracena—incorporated. The dough is shaped by hand, rested, and allowed to rise in paper cups until it reaches the rim, then baked at a controlled temperature and cooled upside down to set the honeycomb texture.

TASTING NOTES
A panettone rare elegance. Candied orange from the Sibari Plain opens with bright notes of Mediterranean citrus, while the raisins—soaked overnight in Passito di Saracena Bicchieri Passito di Saracena —bring a sweet, vinous depth. The dough is silky, with a generous crumb and a long, warm finish. Tradition at its finest.

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.
