Treat yourself to the Flamigni Sugar Iced Dark Chocolate & Pear Panettone 1 kg, a refined Italian Christmas speciality where succulent candied pear meets rich dark chocolate in perfect harmony. This panettone is “studded with pieces of succulent candied pear and indulgent dark chocolate.”

This version is crafted over three days using slow-leavening techniques that allow the dough to develop depth and a fine, airy crumb. Each loaf is shaped and scored by hand to achieve its characteristic tall dome. The topping is a standout: a hazelnut and bitter almond-flavoured frosting adds a frangipane-style crunch that contrasts with the tender interior.

Inside, you’ll find around 18 % candied pear cubes, giving bursts of soft sweetness, and 7 % dark chocolate, offering a satisfying balance of cocoa intensity. The icing forms about 12 % of the loaf, made from sugar, pasteurised egg white, hazelnut flour, apricot kernel flour and rice flour. Natural sourdough (6 %) is the leavening base, contributing flavour, structure and shelf life.
