For Valentine's Day, Olivieri 1882 has baked a special panettone in the shape of a heart, bringing to life the sweet bread's romantic origin.
According to legend, panettone was born out of an act of love. A young nobleman named Ughetto invented a recipe that was so delicious, it earned Ughetto the affections of everyone. Finally, he could wed his true love, Adalgisa, who happened to be the daughter of a baker.
For this limited edition panettone, Pastry Chef Nicola Olivieri, a sixth-generation baker from Veneto, brought back romance to his family's labor of love. Olivieri flavors the loaves with a special recipe of Tahiti vanilla beans soaked in Bourbon, Italian acacia honey and raw cane sugar. A blend of wild strawberries and Valrhona 55 percent dark chocolate are folded into the soft dough.
The company ships directly to the US, guaranteeing fresh pastry in a mere two days. A personalized Valentine's love letter can be included as well. Now that's amore!
