The Panettone with Vecchio Amaro del Capo Cream is a variation of the traditional Italian sweet bread that features a unique filling cream made from the popular Calabrian amaro. It combines the classic, buttery panettone texture with the complex, bittersweet, and herbal notes of the liqueur.
The core flavor profile of the panettone is a balance between the sweet, soft, naturally-leavened bread and the distinct aromatic cream.
- Panettone Base: The dough is a classic, naturally leavened panettone, known for its moist, fluffy texture, and rich flavor from butter, eggs, sugar, and natural vanilla and citrus flavorings. This specific version from Caffo does not include raisins but has candied orange and citron peels incorporated into the dough itself, adding bursts of fruity sweetness.

Amaro del Capo Cream Filling: The panettone is filled with a cream that includes an 8.8% infusion of Vecchio Amaro del Capo's aromatic herbs. This cream provides the signature bittersweet and complex flavor, with notes of:
- Citrus: Prominent bitter and sweet orange notes.
- Herbal & Spice: Hints of licorice, peppermint, aniseed, chamomile, and clove that provide a fresh, aromatic contrast to the sweet dough.
