Favorite Panettone Brand(s)

Yes that would be nice. The new post pandemic inflation price (online at least) is now $85. Sheesh.

David Chang has a discount for Roy’s 20% i think if you join his podcasts discourse channel.

Roy’s was I think a little under $30 in the store at Berkeley Bowl a couple of months ago. Demand pricing for the holidays, currently $66 ordered online for pickup or delivery (probably a few bucks cheaper in the store).

Roy’s is now $109. I think that explains why it’s not at Berkeley Bowl.

For imported Panettone, Loison has been my favourite brand.

I usually get the Senza Canditi or Amarena Cherry variety, rather than the traditional one. A few of us at my house are not crazy about citron or orange in cakes and breads.

This year, I ordered some panettones made in Montreal, by Elena Restaurant. One for our house and a few for gifts. I will report back once we open it. I usually don’t open our Panettone until Dec 25th. It is often part of our Xmas breakfast.

I tried a chocolate chip panettone from Roy a few years ago. We liked it but I’m not sure I would order one again, unless it was on sale after Boxing Day for half price, or maybe 25 percent off. Some upscale kitchen shops sell it in Canada. I think I had already paid around $110 CAD when I bought it, when the CAD was stronger.

There’s a Panettone Salato made with mortadella being sold in Toronto this winter. I am not keen to try that one.

Roy’s is not a big outlier. Olivieri 1882 is $105, Biasetto is $95, Una Pizza Napoletana is $110.

this is my Alla Elena Panettone from Montreal. I chose the Alla Elena chocolate version instead of the Classic version with raisins and candied peel.

It’s a nice panettone.

I still prefer Loison and From Roy. We will still enjoy this one :slight_smile:
