This World Cup-Worthy Panettone Is Canadian (Win!)

Despite its Italian roots, one of the world’s best panettones comes from Montreal.

Viva panettone‘s traditional panettone recently won the North American elimination finals in New York, making it one of 30 international finalists who will present their panettone at the Panettone World Cup later this month in Milan.

“The fact that our panettone has been nominated as one of the two finalists is heartwarming, and confirms the mission we set ourselves when we founded Viva panettone: to give Canadians access to fresh, high-quality hand-made panettone tailored to the tastes of Canadian consumers,” says Éric Goeury, artisan, co-founder of Viva panettone and, among other titles, Quebec maple culinary ambassador.

Viva panettone, he adds, follows the Italian tradition: high, delicate and with a soft crumb. “If we succeed in making a world-class panettone, it’s undoubtedly due to the daily care that we provide all year-round to our sourdough. When the holiday season arrives, our sourdough is in Olympic condition. It’s what gives the panettone its texture, preservation and allows all the flavors to develop” Éric explains.

In Montreal? Viva panettone’s Saint-Laurent boutique will be offering its full 2023 holiday collection, including seven different panettones and other related products, such as chocolate-dipped panettone bites, pistachio creminos and homemade spreads, there. You can even pick up panettone slices, plain or garnished, to go. Not in Montreal? This award-winning panettone can be ordered online and shipped across Canada! Bon appétit! —Vita Daily
