What a Christmas it would be without panettone? The typical leavened dessert of Milanese origins will return, in a few days, to the tables of millions of Italians.

The association tested and tasted twelve products, crowning two winners with equal merit: Panettone Maina and Panettone Vergani.
The examiners (and tasters) evaluated various characteristics: ranging from the completeness of the information on the label to the quality (and quantity) of the ingredients used. The panettone were then tasted by consumers and then judged by a group of experts, for their own evaluations, they took into account the presentation, appearance and aroma of each dessert. Panettone won the (shared) highest step of the podium Vergani, with an average cost of 13.95 euros, and the panettone Maina, with an average cost of € 5.32. Due to this price difference, the latter also received the “Best Buy” sticker. In second place is the classic Panettone with the Coop brand, sold on average for € 5.15, while the top three is completed by the classic Panettone Bauli, available for € 5.75.
