Christmas Sweets and Specialties

The scent of panettone, the sweetness of powdered pandoro — there is no Christmas without these classic treats, which have long brought joy and conviviality to our tables.

This year, alongside the traditional panettone and classic pandoro, the Florian Christmas collection introduces new creations: a triple chocolate panettone for those who cannot resist authentic indulgence, the Veneziana, soft and aromatic, celebrating the city’s pastry tradition, and a mignon pear and chocolate panettone, perfect for a small gesture of sweetness.

These gifts bring a touch of Christmas magic under the tree and a taste of the season’s most authentic flavors. They can be purchased individually or paired with a bottle of sparkling wine, such as Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. or Franciacorta Brut D.O.C.G.
