Rustichella d'Abruzzo Amarene Cherry Panettone

Bring the authentic taste of an Italian Christmas to your table with Rustichella d'Abruzzo’s Cherry Panettone. This dome-shaped brioche masterpiece balances a buttery, cloud-like crumb with the vibrant sweetness of candied Amarene cherries (black Morello cherries). Perfect for gifting or sharing alongside a glass of bubbly or dessert wine.

What is the best way to serve Panettone?

Panettone is traditionally sliced and enjoyed at room temperature or gently warmed for a few minutes in a low oven, paired with dessert wine, sparkling wine, espresso, or a dollop of fresh cream whisked with mascarpone. It also makes incredible French toast or bread pudding if you have leftovers.

How long does the panettone stay fresh once opened?

To keep your panettone moist and buttery, store it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or kept inside its original bag (or an airtight container) at room temperature. Enjoy within a week of opening for the best texture and flavor.

Is this panettone suitable for gifting?

Yes! It comes beautifully wrapped in festive red checkered paper, making it an effortless and elegant gourmet gift for food lovers, holiday hosts, or anyone who appreciates authentic Italian artisanal treats.

I don't like traditional panettone with raisins and candied citrus—is this one for me?

Absolutely! If you’ve avoided traditional panettone in the past because of raisins or candied citrus peel, the Rustichella d'Abruzzo Amarena Cherry Panettone is your perfect entry into this beloved Italian holiday tradition. Instead of classic mixed fruit, this gourmet version is filled exclusively with sweet-tart candied Amaren (black Morello cherries) and scented with natural vanilla, enveloped in the same buttery, cloud-like brioche crumb. It lets you enjoy the festive experience without missing out on the celebration!
