Flamigni Sugar Iced Dark Chocolate & Orange Panettone, 1kg

Description

Flamigni's orange & dark chocolate panettone is a luxurious new take on this traditional Italian Christmas bread. Pieces of candied orange peel add a zesty counterpoint to the bitter dark chocolate. A hazelnut and bitter almond-flavoured frosting adds a delicious frangipane-like crunchy topping.

Flamigni panettones take three days to make. This may sound like a long time, but they make every hour count. The dough is slow-leavened for an exceptional texture when baked. Each panettone is shaped and scored by hand. Flamigni don't compromise on ingredients either, sourcing only the best quality ingredients no matter where in the world they have to go for them.

Chocolate and orange is a well-loved combination, and is perfectly suited to the fluffy, vanilla scented panettone. Serve with a little whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon for a change from Christmas pudding. A cup of strong coffee with a small glass of orange liqueur are an indulgent way to round off the festivities!

Flamigni started in 1930 as a pastry and coffee shop in Forli, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Three brothers, Armando, Lieto and Aurelio Flamigni saw great success with their traditional Italian pastries. In the 1970s, the son-in-law of one of the Flamigni brothers encouraged the company to try their hand at other Italian specialities. Armed with their expertise in cakes and pastries, Flamigni developed their range of nougat, panettones and other confectionery.

Flamigni try to use traditional recipes, equipment and techniques wherever possible. They use one of the first marron glace recipes ever recorded, they make their nougat in traditional copper pots, and their biscuits are made using traditional methods that have been handed down through generations. In this way they hope to preserve Italy's confectionery-making heritage for future generations to enjoy.
