💡 What's interesting
Culturally, Panettone is more than a dessert; it's a symbol of celebration and family gathering during the holidays, with its tall shape said to represent the dome of the Milan Cathedral. Nutritionally, the fermentation process for the dough can slightly improve digestibility compared to other dense cakes.
