Panettone is famous for its tangy flavor and yellow, soft and gooey dough that is unlike no other. The secret behind it is an Italian yeast called lievito madre, or mother yeast. It gives a panettone a tangy flavor and just the perfect texture. But it’s not an easy yeast to work with: you need time and patience to master it. In Milan, the birthplace of panettone, lievito madre is the one and only yeast bakers are allowed to use. We visited Pavé, a local bakery, to find out what else makes Milanese panettone so special.

    Fun fact, here in Italy panettone is so common you get tired of it. And right after the holidays supermarkets will sell you even the good ones for pennies (if you still want to eat panettone)
  • @crasicatlady
    I've tried to make panettone at home, but now I understand why it came out like a bread. Such a complex process. No wonder the price they charged. This year I ordered an Italian panettone, so exited about it. Great video!
  • @ropro9817
    I love that he thinks that after 15 years, he's finally starting to learn something about making panettone. Such great humility.

    Back in the 80’s, I lived near an Italian grocery in Montréal ( Milano if you’re interested) that I absolutely loved. I was not, however, into Panettone! In fact, I thought they looked rather like dry raisin breads. I kept seeing people buy those boxes by the armful and I could not figure out what the deal was until one day I saw a well known journalist doing the same. That peeked my curiosity so I bought one. OMG, it practically changed my life. I have to restrain myself because I would eat it everyday, and lots of it. JUST TRY IT !
  • I'm Asian and Panettone was very new to me when I arrived here in Toronto years back. I first lived in an area populated mostly by Italians and ever since my previous neighbour, who was one, gifted me panettones one christmas, it's been my go too holiday cake. When I say go too, I mean I buy up to six panettones with different fillings every time and even go back after the holidays to score the discounted ones. They're that good and can be kept for quite a while. I love eating it with black tea!
  • @songindarkness
    I love that we can get good quality Italian panettone in England. It’s so delicious and worth every penny.

  • @joanindi
    I am a Nigerian living in London 4 years ago, I tried Panettone for the first time, and now it's become a cherished part of my holiday festivities. It's truly amazing!
  • @kedarmeow
    I'm really lucky to be born in such era. Maybe I'll never visit Italy & eat this dish... But, at least I do know that... Their are different cultures around the world & so much Dishes are present & they're preserving this History & Cuisines. It's so nice to watch & imagine eating this dish.

    Ohhh Italian..what a beautiful, classical language As a native English speaker who studied Italian for 4 years; the world seems so much more beautiful going through it speaking Italian
  • Can we all just agree that panettone is 10x better than fruitcake? Cause I LOVE PANETTONE. ITS DELICIOUS!
  • @bettycharms
    Forget the panettone, this Christmas i want Giovanni!
  • @mrdasilver
    Panettone is, by far and large, one of my favorite things to eat on this planet. Christmas is not Christmas without panettone for this Brazilian-Italian guy right here.
  • @allygheorghe
    I am from Romania but I love Panettone! And I love Italy!
  • @jeanes.3967
    As a brazilian, I am very thankful to who created this. Panettone is my favourite christmas food of all times! Whenever my mom finds some out of season, she gets if for me. I could totally eat it all year long 🥰🤩
  • @arian6141
    love to see the process of a childhood Xmas food of mine. I'm from Milan and in my family we eat lots of panettone even till the end of January and even before the beginning of December
  • @briefcandle
    My parents are from Argentina. This stuff is consumed en masse during the holidays. Definitely evokes memories of my childhood! I can almost guarantee that when we gather for xmas this year, there will be a panatone on the table.
  • @MrMonfabio
    Since we have here in Brazil the biggest italian colony outside Italy, panettone is very famous as well and we love it
