Panettone–which translates to “big bread” in Italian–is a traditional sweet bread that originates from Milan, Italy. Known for its iconic dome shape, this bread has a soft, spongey texture and rich, buttery and slightly citrusy flavor. Italians traditionally enjoy panettone throughout the holiday season with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.  Locally made in St. Paul, Minnesota, using imported ingredients, long fermentation times and time-honored Italian methods, Cossetta’s award-winning panettone comes in two varieties – traditional and chocolate. This festive treat makes the perfect gift or sweet to share with loved ones this holiday season.
Cossetta’s panettone has won the last four Coppa del Mondo Americas competitions, thereby carving out a legacy that has grown over a 15-year journey. This year they have set their sights on the 2026 Panettone World Cup in Milan, Italy.
