Part 3/6:
Next, we explore panettone, a traditional Christmas cake originating from Milan. Here, we have the opportunity to taste an artisan version filled with natural ingredients, raisins, and candied orange peel, making it a festive delight. The origins of panettone date back to the time of the kings, and it has since become a staple during the holiday season, often gifted to loved ones.
Indulging in Gorgonzola
Milan is also famous for Gorgonzola, and we find ourselves at a local shop to taste some of its variations. The mellow sweetness of the sweet Gorgonzola pairs beautifully with a mustard jelly, enhancing the cheese’s mild profile. Transitioning into the spicy version, we delight in its intensity and complex flavors, paired with crusty bread.
