An Italian bakery had never heard of pannetone? Who do they have working there?? It’d be one thing if they said “it’s a pain, we don’t make it” but…not knowing??
(I love pannetone but just get the Trader Joe’s version which is not amazing but oh well)
The local-to-my-work fancy grocery did a Reel or something of their holiday offerings and I think over half was variations on pannetone. But they don't bake it, they import it, I'm pretty sure. One of those things I don't really know what it is, I think because it's full of something I'm allergic to, but I have heard of it...
