\nOne of these things is not like the others, or so the song goes. In this case, the outlier is the first Panettone,<\/em> the only orthographically correct version of the subject of this post. To tell the truth, the two imposters share the spotlight only by way of capitulation to less-than-forgiving search engines (and not as a sly reference to the 90s R&B\/soul group) because it is my mission to ensure that everyone falls in love with this gift to the culinary arts as deeply, passionately, and yes, obsessively as I have.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re all familiar with panettone, right? That Italian (Milanese, specifically) sweet, fruity, fluffy cake that\u2019s usually consumed for the holidays (Christmas, specifically) but can be enjoyed year-round by ardent aficionados (me, specifically).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve read my story, An Eggnog Excursus,<\/a> you know that part of my obsession stems from the fact that this bewitching beverage evocative of joyous childhood memories is only available for an all-too-brief period each year. Unlike eggnog, some brands of panettone are available year-round, generally dozing in supermarkets and even bodegas, but they tend to be lackluster as compared with the treasures that miraculously appear during the holiday season. It\u2019s like envisaging a standing rib roast for Christmas dinner and then being served pot roast instead. It\u2019s not the end of the world, but it is <\/em>a world away from what you had been eagerly anticipating for the better part of a year.<\/p>\n

So in an effort to assist with your choice of panettone from the myriad available this time of year, please check out this deep dive into Italy\u2019s sweet Christmas present to the culinary world!<\/a>
