The Classic Marchesi 1824 Panettone is the result of almost two centuries of research and passion. The great leavened Christmas cake has a fresh, delicate flavour deriving from its fine ingredients such as raisins from Sei Corone, naturally candied fruit, Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, Italian honey, and eggs from free-range chickens.The ingredients are mixed with the exclusive Marchesi yeast starter and the dough left to rise slowly. Compared to ordinary yeast, production with yeast starter requires more time and care to permit the development of microorganisms that possess many beneficial qualities and have a unique flavour.
