A recent tasting by Swiss show ‘Kassensturz’ evaluated eleven traditional Milanese panettoni, revealing a mix of quality and taste. The jury deemed only a few suitable as Christmas gifts, with the Lidl ‘Favorina’ ranked the highest despite being one of the cheapest. Criticisms were leveled at notable brands like Volg, Migros, and Manor, citing issues such as dryness, lack of butter aroma, and unappealing texture. While industrial panettoni have seen quality improvements, none stood out as truly exceptional.
