Abstract

The article examines the cultural significance of panettone, an Italian type of sweet bread loaf originally from Milan, Italy and enjoyed during Christmas. Topics discussed include earliest unequivocal evidence of panettone being eaten at Christmas, legends on the cause of the transformation of panettone's recipe, and claims of 18th-century polymath Pietro Verri about panettone as a yuletide treat in Milan.
