Do you like the classic or the innovative Panettone?

It is a Italian Christmas speciality. Until recently Milan’s Christmas speciality seemed to be on the wane. The shake-up started during Expo and since then efforts have been made to reinvent the product. Some of the most interesting ideas drew on local specialities, and even the Slow Food movement got in on the act. There was a Sardinian version flavoured with myrtle, beer and pompia (a variety of lemon native to Sardinia), while Sicilian panettone was flavoured with manna, a tree-bark sap.
