Borsari Panettone al Pistacchio 1 kg

Product Information

EK: “This is a pretty good, very classic panettone. It’s fruit heavy but it needs more citrus; there’s enough peel, but it’s missing the citrus oil. It’s very similar to the Tesco panettone, but it’s better and cheaper.” Score 7.5/10 BE: “This looks pleasing; the wrapper is decorative, you can see all the fruit coming through, and it’s got good height. The sweetness level is good, but I’m not getting any prosecco. I like the texture, and I could eat more than one slice of this – but you have to lose marks because I’m not tasting booze.” Score 7/10 The classic Borsari panettone is worked for 72 hours, the most important phase is the refreshment of a yeast that is always kept alive. By working it with flour and water we ensure that it remains reactive and gives softness and flavor to the product. The raisins are of Turkish origin due to their high quality of selection: the grapes are harvested manually, dried naturally in the sun and selected based on color and size. The candied lemons and oranges are always Italian and are selected through a manual process. The scorzone is chosen from the orange because it gives a lot of aroma and flavor to the product through a level of candying that better preserves and preserves the essential oils contained in the fruit. Candied lemon fruits are added to the orange and lemon, which come from South America, and, given their limited availability, give great value to the panettone. Spread a rich and smooth nut butter over your panettone for a very special afternoon treat. Coffee cream and pistachio cream from Fiasconaro are just the thing. BE: “This looks better than the picture on the box, which is rare. It feels dense, and the texture of the cream inside is just odd and way too sweet. The bread doesn’t have enough orange in it for a chocolate-orange panettone, either.” Score 4/10

Panettone croutons add texture and flavour to winter salads – of your bread has gone stale, simply lightly gril and scatter over your salad leaves with fresh figs, blue cheese and a glug of good dressing. EK: “To me, this is a classic: it looks sophisticated, the texture has a nice lightness to it and there are some good, big chunks of fruit. However, the dough itself is a bit bland and I would like more flavour. Overall, it’s pretty good.
