Triple Chocolate Panettone with gianduia chocolate spread
July 30, 1502: This is the day Europe “discovered” chocolate, but the origins and properties of cocoa were well known to the Maya and Aztecs, who considered it even more valuable than gold. Its seeds were a good-luck charm, a currency, and a reward for soldiers returning from battle. When Christopher Columbus tasted it as a beverage for the first time on that July day, he didn’t like it at all and didn’t think to bring any back with him. It wasn’t until 1520 that the “Food of the Gods” landed in Spain, brought by the conquistador Hernán Cortés, and its great transformation began. Initially used as a medicine, it was soon studied and added to drinks to make them more enjoyable. Then, in the mid-19th century, an Englishman named Joseph Fry had a brilliant idea: to make chocolate solid by adding butter and molding it into a new shape—the chocolate bar.
For all those who love it, cocoa is never enough. It is to them that we dedicate this Chocolate Panettone (or rather, Triple Chocolate Panettone) with our gianduia and dark chocolate spreads. Because at Christmas we want to be not just a little better, but also so much sweeter.
