Bauli panettone classico kg.1 (1000034976)

Product Information

EK: “This is a pretty good, very classic panettone. It’s fruit heavy but it needs more citrus; there’s enough peel, but it’s missing the citrus oil. It’s very similar to the Tesco panettone, but it’s better and cheaper.” Score 7.5/10 The Italians have traditional cakes for each of their major holidays. Colomba cake is the one that every Italian family eats for Easter. In terms of texture and ingredients, it is actually quite similar to panettone. The biggest difference between the two Italian cakes is the shape: colomba cakes are shaped like doves, to represent Jesus (or for the less religious, love and peace). These Easter cakes are also usually topped with almonds and sugar sprinkles. Many of the same brands mentioned before that produce panettone and pandoro cakes also make colomba.

EK: “It looks nice, and there’s the classic mix of candied peel and raisins. It’s not the most flavourful dough, but the texture is good. I like the hazelnut crust on top and there isn’t too much of it – but I think it’s not strong enough in flavour to call it hazelnut.” Score 8/10 EK: “To me, this is a classic: it looks sophisticated, the texture has a nice lightness to it and there are some good, big chunks of fruit. However, the dough itself is a bit bland and I would like more flavour. Overall, it’s pretty good. Score 7/10 We ranked the panettone brands by following the preferences of Bell Italia customers. We would like to remind our readers that it is possible to consult the constantly updated gallery to view a selection of the goods that we prepare daily for the most disparate destinations … best panettone included, of course.BE: “This looks pleasing; the wrapper is decorative, you can see all the fruit coming through, and it’s got good height. The sweetness level is good, but I’m not getting any prosecco. I like the texture, and I could eat more than one slice of this – but you have to lose marks because I’m not tasting booze.” Score 7/10 Pandoro cake is kind of like the sister cake to panettone. While panettone is round and squat and filled with candied fruit, traditional pandoro is a tall, plain, soft butter cake topped with powdered sugar. Pandoro is wider at the bottom than it is at the top, and traditionally is shaped so that when one cuts a horizontal slice, it comes out looking like a star! Many Italian brands that make panettone also make pandoro, such as Fiasconaro, Bauli, Filippi, and Tre Marie. What is colomba cake? EK: “It looks like a Ferrero Rocher. The chocolate is quite thin, which I’m happy about; the caramel is so cinnamon-y and there’s so much of it; the bread is bland on its own. It’s crazy how sweet this is, it’s headache-inducing.” Score 3/10

BE: “It looks like a giant hot cross bun – they’ve put the wrong thing inside! There’s lots of plump, juicy fruit and peel in here; it’s not bad at all. This feels more like an everyday panettone. If you love hot cross buns, this is for you.” Score 6/10 EK: “This is nice and tall, which is what you want, but it looks a bit sad. Do you know what this tastes like? Fruit bread. It’s got the texture of panettone but it’s really missing the classic panettone citrus oil – you can smell it, but you can’t taste it. There are loads of raisins in it, so it’s good for breakfast.” Score 6/10

BE: “I agree, this is very similar – and better – than the Tesco panettone. There’s more peel, and it’s not as sweet, which I appreciate.” Score 7/10 BE: “This isn’t panettone; we’ve gone too far over the line. There’s none of that classic panettone flavour (apart from the peel) to redeem it, and it’s all sugar. It does look playful and fun, though, so it could be good for kids.” Score 3.5/10 EK: “This has one of the nicest shapes, but I’m ambivalent; there’s nothing wrong with it but it’s not special, and there’s only a very small aftertaste of alcohol. This is a very happy breakfast panettone.” Score 6.5/10
