IT Why Choose Panettone from Fede
The Panettone made by Federico is the result of a fantastic adventure lasting almost a lifetime.
Its story begins many years ago… From a young age, Panettone traveled the world, seeking inspiration in the wonderful places he dreamed of discovering, and meeting people of every culture and background.
Along the way, Panettone treasured every personality he encountered, and was in turn appreciated and admired, growing richer with lessons and life stories as he overcame many difficulties to make his dreams come true.
Until the day came when he decided to share with everyone the very attitude that had allowed him to overcome every obstacle. For him, even today, this remains an ambitious goal — perhaps achievable — and it is still his driving force in this ongoing journey beyond time, space and mind. A journey that Panettone travels, driven not by material things, but by a deep desire to grow and to make himself known in the world — spreading his nature, his happiness, his joy, beyond flour and water alone, on every plane and at every level.
Panettone is an insatiable, undisciplined student, who hopes to be able to truly help and do good, with all the strength and humility he knows he possesses.
FRESH PRODUCT WITHOUT PRESERVATIVES!
CONSUME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
The life of this product comes from the live sourdough starter, which is a unique and powerful natural preservative, giving it a truly distinctive aroma and scent!
It keeps transforming the panettone day after day, even after baking!
To help your Panettone last longer while keeping its qualities intact for as long as possible, store it closed in its original packaging, in a cool, dry, and possibly dark place.
If you don't eat it right away, you can keep the Panettone in the fridge, as this will extend its life — but I recommend bringing it to room temperature for a few hours before enjoying it, so it can release all the aromas and flavors it holds! If possible, avoid the freezer!
To cut the Panettone, I recommend using a very sharp serrated knife — don't press too hard, just let the blade sink in on its own!
Once opened, if it is not finished, I recommend keeping it tightly closed in its bag! Dry air tends to dry the Panettone out.
You can serve the Panettone with a good custard or a scoop of good ice cream, but honestly, I enjoy it on its own — perhaps with an excellent glass of wine!
The citrus paste I use as a natural flavor is made only with oranges, mandarins, lemons and sugar, using a method of my own invention. I will soon be able to make my own candied orange peel too.
I started making panettone in the early 2000s — but since I was a child, I had dreamed of making them!
I still remember my father helping me cool the dough in the small 10kg mixer.
When I first received the live sourdough starter, I was so excited!! Since then it has exploded in my fridge many times — luckily, that doesn't happen anymore today!
In 2020, due to the Covid pandemic, I could not work as a ski instructor — that's when I decided to build my own laboratory!
In the early years, I made a few panettones just for friends: I let them rise in the leavening chamber my father built, and baked them all perfectly in the oven at home... what an adventure!
My logo represents me! A magical creation after a year of work... I'll just tell you that we started from the image of the sphinx.
I have a fantastic sound system in my lab that plays at full blast all day long! I live on techno!
When I refresh the sourdough starter, I don't throw away the leftover part right away... I keep it in my laboratory as an air freshener.
Panettone and Fede don't always get along — they often argue! But then they always make up, and their bond grows stronger!
