Frequently Asked Questions

Product

How long will my panettone keep?

A panettone can be kept for up to 120 days from its manufacturing date. Consult the "best before" date on the packaging to find out how long your panettone can be stored.

How to store a panettone?

  • Keep the panettone in its original bag.
  • Close the plastic bag with the bag tie.
  • Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
  • Consume within 30 days of opening.
  • Panettone can be frozen. To thaw the panettone, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for about 3 hours before serving.

Tip: For extra softness, you can slightly warm the panettone in the oven for a few minutes before serving to revive its soft texture and taste.

How to serve a panettone?

  • To cut a panettone, you can follow these steps:
  • Prepare a sharp bread knife.
  • Place the panettone on a flat, stable surface such as a cutting board.
  • Cut the panettone in half, in its mold, using the knife.
  • Cut into wedges, approximately 2 to 4 cm thick.
  • Serve the panettone slices on a plate or serving dish.

Tip: To avoid crushing the panettone when cutting, use a serrated knife to slice slowly and gently.

All allergens are listed on our panettone packaging and on the product page of our website.
