Panettones at Tenuta’s: A Timeless Christmas Delight
December 7, 2023

Tenuta’s Deli in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is thrilled to announce the arrival of the 2023 collection of Panettones, a symbol of Christmas celebrations worldwide. This mildly sweet, fruit-laden bread has been a part of Italian tradition since the Middle Ages, and its origins, though shrouded in charming tales, emphasize its enduring appeal.




This year, we’re proud to offer an exquisite selection of popular Italian brands such as Balcocco, Chiostro, Fiasconaro, Motta, as well as Pandoro (pan d’oro means ‘golden bread’) a Christmas cake that originated in Verona.
Why Panettone is a Must-Have for Christmas 2023
Panettone is not just a bread; it’s a festive masterpiece showcasing the richness of the season. Enriched with butter and sugar, its dough is tender and airy, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Whether it’s the traditional candied fruits and citrus peels or the contemporary twist of fine-quality chocolate chunks, each panettone is a unique blend of a luxurious brioche and a sumptuous fruitcake.

The Art Behind Crafting Panettone
Creating the perfect panettone is an art form. The 2023 collection features creations that are the result of skillful craftsmanship and patience. The slow-acting yeast and increasing amounts of butter not only enrich the flavor but also add to the complexity of its preparation. This meticulous process is what makes brands like Chiostro di Saronno stand out, offering an Organic Panettone that’s a testament to tradition and quality.
Our 2023 range of panettones is priced to cater to everyone, from mini panettones to full-size varieties, ensuring a delightful addition to your holiday gatherings.

Expert Tips on Savoring Panettone
To truly enjoy panettone, follow the expert guide from Chiostro di Saronno. A properly sliced panettone, enjoyed with espresso, wine, or Madeira, is a culinary experience. Remember, panettone is not overly sweet, making it perfect for any occasion, be it an afternoon snack or a sophisticated dessert.
When fresh, the best way to enjoy panettone is with an espresso, a glass of wine, or Madeira. It’s so good, you don’t need anything else on it. Before slicing, you’ll want to make sure it’s at room temperature otherwise it may crumble instead of slicing cleanly.
Since it’s not overly sweet, it makes a great snack in the afternoon but it’s also nice as a dessert. One thing you must never do is slice off the top and just eat that. That is one sure way to lose friends.
Storing Your Panettone
To preserve its freshness, an unopened panettone can be stored at room temperature for 4 to 6 months. Once opened, it should be wrapped in an airtight container to maintain its delightful texture.
