1kg Futurist Panettone - Bonfissuto

Artisan Futurist Panettone in Collector's Tin – Bonfissuto's Innovation

Origin and processing

In the heart of Sicily, in Canicattì, the Bonfissuto pastry shop rewrites the rules of traditional holiday cakes with a bold and visionary project. The Futurist Panettone is born from a long and meticulous artisanal process, based on the use of sourdough starter and slow leavening that guarantees perfect cell structure and uncompromising softness. The true revolution of this recipe lies in the dough: the addition of natural active charcoal gives the crumb a deep, scenic black chromatic appearance, acting as an abstract canvas for the colors and flavors of the island. Inside, precious cubes of Sicilian candied orange are set by hand, creating a surprising visual and gustatory contrast. Crowning this sculpture of high pastry is a rich artisanal glaze made with whole almonds and selected cocoa.

Sensory profile

Upon cutting, the Futurist Panettone offers an unexpected visual spectacle: the intense black of the crumb, embellished by the gold of the candied orange, immediately recalls the artworks of the Futurist movement from which it takes its name. On the nose, it releases a complex bouquet where the toasted notes of cocoa and almond blend with the fresh, citrusy hints of orange. On the palate, the extreme softness of the active charcoal dough, known for its lightness and digestibility, marries the juicy sweetness of the candied fruit. The final touch, and a true stroke of genius, is provided by the pastry bag containing black mulberry jam: squeezed fresh onto the slice, it adds a velvety texture and a fruity, wild, and unmistakably Sicilian sweetness that perfectly balances the crunchy topping.

Usage tips and pairings

To fully appreciate the fragrance and softness of this cake, we recommend keeping it in a warm room or near a heat source for about 20-30 minutes before serving. At the time of service, bring the pastry bag to the table and invite your guests to "paint" their own slice with the black mulberry jam: an interactive gesture that will make the dessert unforgettable.

Gocce di Sicilia's extra tip: If there are any leftovers (which we highly doubt!), use the slices of this panettone to create a "Futurist Trifle". Cut the panettone into cubes, toast them slightly in a pan, and alternate them in a glass with layers of sweetened sheep's milk ricotta and generous drops of the included black mulberry jam.
To drink, the ideal pairing is a glass of Passito di Pantelleria DOC or a Moscato di Siracusa, capable of enhancing the notes of dark fruit and citrus without overpowering the palate.
