That delicious time of year has arrived, when you are free to eat Panettone every day. Daniela filomeno, for example, loves Panettone on the plate with breakfast butter. #Stayadic.
With so many options available on the market, it is difficult to choose which one to buy. To help in this mission, the editorial staff of CNN Travel & Gastronomy brought together a group that loves this traditional Christmas cake to evaluate one by one, in a meeting that took place in the website’s newsroom.
Who participated? Part of the CNN TV team, as Prime Time’s anchor, Márcio Gomes, the economics analyst Thais Heredia, o chef André Mifano, which presents the program “Anthony Bourdain”, in addition to the gastronomy influencer Thamyris Roxo, do chef and professor of pastry and bakery at Le Cordon Bleu, Salvador Latieri, of the singer Gabi Luthai, among many others.
The sweets were divided into 3 categories: no stuffing, stuffed and gluten free, lactose free and refined sugar free.
For the filling Panettone, they were the taste/flavour, mass, aroma and appearance; in the stuffed and “fit” category, that is, gluten-free, lactose-free and refined sugar-free, the items evaluated were: taste/flavor, mass, aroma, filling and creativity.
Each participant gave a score from zero to five on each topic, thus assembling a total score for each product. Important: before the official tasting, the CNN Viagem & Gastronomia team had already made a pre-selection of products, making the “competition” fairer and only with excellent quality products. The dishes used in setting up the table are by Danielle Raiola.
