Stollen: A German Tradition Sublimated by Viva Panettone and The Bakers Workshop
This year, Viva Panettone is partnering with Bakers Workshop to reinvent an iconic holiday treat: Stollen.
Inspired by an ancient German recipe, this brioche bread rich in candied fruits, almonds, and marzipan is reinterpreted with all the care and gourmet appeal that characterize Viva Panettone's creations.
The Legacy of a Christmas Tradition
Stollen is a brioche bread originating from Germany, prepared at Christmas time since the 15th century.
Originally, its elongated shape covered with powdered sugar symbolized the swaddled infant Jesus. Over time, it has become a holiday staple, appreciated for its rich taste and soft texture.
Generously filled with candied fruits, raisins, almonds, and marzipan, it is brushed with melted butter then sprinkled with powdered sugar to give it that melting and slightly crispy finish all at once.
At Viva Panettone, this tradition takes on a breath of modernity: carefully selected ingredients, a melting texture, and that touch of artisanal refinement characteristic of the house.
A Four-Handed Creation
It is in the Montreal workshops that Viva Panettone and Bakers Workshop have combined their talents to create this unique version of Stollen.
One brings their sourdough art and passion for traditions, the other their baking expertise and attention to detail.
The result?
A rich, moist, and balanced cake, both rustic and elegant, designed to be shared over coffee, tea, or a good hot chocolate.
Two Formats, One Promise: Pleasure
Stollen is available in two formats for gifting, sharing, or simply treating yourself to a sweet and comforting moment.
Each piece is carefully wrapped, ready to become the ideal gourmet gift or the star of your holiday tables.
A Limited Edition Not to Be Missed
This collaboration is produced in limited quantities.
Once the last batch comes out of the oven, you'll have to wait until next year…
