The dough of a true panettone, paired with a delicate pistachio cream.
Caffetteria Luca is undoubtedly one of the most famous spots in Bronte, and we simply had to try their artisanal panettone with pistachio cream.
In our 2018 panettone ranking, it was placed, along with three others, in the "best dough" category.
The strong point of this panettone is definitely the softness and flavor of the dough, which is absolutely divine. You will taste the true flavor of panettone, with its typical aromas, without them being overly intrusive. It is certainly one of the best we have tasted.
The pistachio percentage in the cream is 20%, not very high, but it is made with high-quality Bronte pistachio DOP, which still allows for a pleasant pistachio flavor. The cream is not inside the panettone, but in a separate jar, ensuring you have cream for every slice. Like almost all creams made in Bronte, the "vanilla" flavor of the cream base is quite present (which may or may not be to your liking).
The whole pistachios on the topping are excellent, crunchy and incredibly tasty, even if there aren't that many of them.
In conclusion: excellent dough, great pistachios on the topping, and a light but pleasant pistachio flavor in the cream.
