Panettone stands out as the quintessential Italian cake to savor during the year-end festivities&mdash;offered in both classic and creatively twisted variations.

Originally from the city of <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/40-years-of-moschino-the-spring-summer-2024-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milan</a>, panettone has remained one of the traditional and most popular Italian cake recipes since the 15th century. Perfumed and brioche to perfection, it is traditionally decorated with candied orange zest and raisins. Although this version remains very popular, a multitude of variations have since emerged: sometimes iced or chocolate, sometimes flavored with pistachio or candied chestnuts. To celebrate the end of year holidays, L'OFFICIEL has selected the most gourmet specialties of the moment.

Made by four hands by the great Italian pastry chef Iginio Massari and the Belgian chocolatier Pierre Marcolini, this panettone, as airy as it is delicious, takes the taste buds on a journey. A tribute to Lombard and Piedmontese traditions, it reveals a traditional ultra-soft brioche decorated with generous pieces of dark chocolate from Maison Marcolini, with a few touches of candied oranges nestled here and there.

The French tea house Dammann Frères and panettone maestro Christophe Louie unveil a limited edition recipe, as tasty as it is ingenious. The Italian cake is made from an infusion of Rooibos tea with spices, orange peel, but also aromas of gingerbread, bitter orange and cherry. To bring out all these flavors, Christophe Louie added the most surprising cranberry, apple, ginger, vanilla and generous pieces of candied orange. To complete the experience, this panettone is accompanied by a box of tea: 6 bags of Spice Flakes, a black tea with aromas of citrus fruits and Christmas spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) and orange peel — to better accompany the tasting. Panettone 750g, €45 <a href="https://christophelouie.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Available from November 28, 2023 in Christophe Louie&#39;s Parisian boutique and in a selection of Dammann Frères boutiques</a>
