Panettone (Italy) Although originally hailing from Milan, these days panettone has become a Christmas tradition for the whole of Italy, as well as other parts of Southern Europe. A sweet bread loaf, panettone traditionally contains candied orange peels and raisins (although some varieties contain chocolate) and is usually served with a dollop of sweet mascarpone cream and a sweet liquor like amaretto.Stollen (Germany) A sweet, cake-like fruit bread from the region of Saxony in Eastern Germany, stollen is traditionally eaten during the Christmas season. As well as raisons and candied orange peel, other dried fruits, nuts and even marzipan are added to the dough to give the bread its unique flavour. Some stollens are laced with rum or brandy, so watch out for the Yuletide kick, especially if you’re giving it to the little ones! |
