At Nife is Life, we know a good panettone when we see one. And we stock a huge range at this time of year in the 'Christmas' section at nifeislife.com, from the ever-popular Bauli and Tre Marie (one without candied fruit) to more artisan offerings from Milan such as a gorgeous C. Confetti version with ginger and chocolate, presented in stylish silver packaging. Pasticceria Biffi is another favourite supplier among Italians (and, believe us, they take this subject very seriously!) so why not try their hand-made creation made with all natural ingredients?

But if you're after something really special, can we recommend the Oro Verde pistachio panettone with pistachio cream, made by iconic Sicilian baker Fiasconaro?

A fabulous gift for pistachio lovers, this fluffy Italian panettone is covered with white chocolate and topped with whole Sicilian pistachios. Once you've cut a slice of the panettone, spread with velvety pistachio cream using the stylish white butter knife. This is the ultimate pistachio panettone experience.

Fiasconaro was founded in Castelbuono, Sicily in 1953 by Mario Fiasconaro. Mario started out as an ice-cream maker and pastry chef, and his first great masterpieces were mountains of profiteroles. His three sons, Fausto, Nicola and Martino, began learning the art of pastry when they were children. Today, the three brothers still lead the company; Nicola is the production manager and an award-winning pastry chef. You'll taste his expertise in every bite of Fiasconaro's luxurious panettone and torrone.

Fresh egg yolks, natural yeast, Sicilian honey, orange puree, cocoa butter and natural vanilla extract are joined by Sicilian pistachios, widely regarded as some of the best in the world. 

The Oro Verde Pistachio Panettone costs £39.50 (1kg).
