Indulgence knows no boundaries when it comes to delightful treats and a sweet delicacy alongside a hot drink is also often welcome. Costa Coffee, known in the UK as the Nation's favourite coffee shop, has added a twist to this beloved pastry, serving up a mouthwatering creation that combines the best of both worlds.
Supplied by Atlante, experts in sourcing the best quality Panettone from Italy, a petite version of the traditional Italian sweet bread is now a delicacy that is also loved by UK coffee consumers.
Originating from Milan, Italy, panettone is a quintessential Christmas delicacy that has become popular worldwide. Traditionally, this fluffy, dome-shaped sweet bread is studded with candied fruits, raisins, and nuts, offering a delightful blend of flavours and textures. With its rich history and distinctive taste, panettone has become an integral part of Italian festive celebrations.
Working with Atlante, Costa Coffee is supplied with top quality "mini panettone" which are smaller versions of the traditional Italian sweet loaf. They are made in the same way as the larger panettone but are scaled down in size, to about the size of a cupcake or muffin.
They can be made with a variety of flavours and ingredients including chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruits. Mini Panettone are often packaged in small boxes or bags for gift-giving as a sweet treat any time of year, or for sale as festive snacks during the holiday season. They are also commonly used in dessert recipes, such as trifle or bread pudding.
