Christmas is approaching, and with it the traditional dessert par excellence: panettone. But this year, between a rush for gifts and the preparation of festive dinners, a doubt could arise: choose a branded panettone or opt for the one from the supermarkets, perhaps at a discounted price? Panettone is always a symbol of celebration, but the price of branded products is skyrocketing. So, the question we ask ourselves is legitimate: can a cheap panettone, sold by a discount chain, really be as good as one of the more famous brands?
The answer is not as simple as it might seem. The brand is not always synonymous with absolute quality, and even among the cheapest products you can find excellent surprises. Sometimes, in fact, the secret lies precisely in the producer behind the panettone. And the “Le Nuove Delizie” panettone from In’s is an excellent example of how a choice of low price does not necessarily have to mean sacrificing quality.
Who produces In’s Le Nuove Delizie panettone?
In’s “Le Nuove Delizie” panettone is not produced directly by the supermarket, but is made on their behalf by Il Vecchio Forno, a Venetian company with a long tradition in the production of leavened products. Behind the production of this panettone there is a team of experts who have been dedicated to panettone, pandoro and colombe for generations, with the aim of combining quality and tradition, without sacrificing efficiency.
The ingredients
The “Le Nuove Delizie” panettone presents a classic recipe that will not disappoint Christmas dessert lovers. With ingredients such as flour, raisins (13%), candied fruit (9%), butter, and fresh yolk from free-range eggs, it is a panettone that preserves the authenticity of the traditional product. As with many other industrial panettone, there are also some emulsifiers and flavourings, but there is nothing that compromises the quality. It is a balanced product, perfect for those looking for genuine sweetness without having to spend a fortune.
Who is behind the production
The production of “Le Nuove Delizie” panettone is entrusted to Il Vecchio Forno, a company that also works for more well-known brands. This does not mean that the recipe is the same as that of the premium versions, but there are still guarantees of quality. The differences may lie in the quantity of butter or the raw materials, but the base remains solid, with long experience ensuring a well-made product.
The compromise between quality and price
Choosing a cheap panettone doesn’t always mean compromising on quality. Of course, we are not talking about an artisanal panettone from a gastronomic boutique, but this does not mean that the product is inferior.
