  My brother-in-law lives in Milan and his Italian in-laws have no idea what Paneton is! It’s more popular in Peru than it is in Italy.

  I love Paneton, always wondered why in the heck they sold it in South American travel agencies like Costamar in the U.S., but after visiting Peru now I get it!

  Anyway, the best Paneton comes from “La Marina.” My husband’s aunt works for them and always brings us Paneton around the holidays.

  Don’t forget that it’s Peruvian tradition to eat Paneton with the Chocolate Milk. (Evaporated Milk, Chocolate bar, and Cinnamon.)

  Yes, it’s popular in July too. I guess Peruvians keep looking for more excuses to eat panettone.

  Does anyone else vouch for Erika’s observation that Peruvian panettone is better than the Italian version? (I think a lot of Italians would be scandalized to read that!)

  Rachel, where do they sell La Marina? I haven’t seen that brand…

  “La Marina” it’s the Navy’s brand of Paneton. They produce it in Callao.

  I have no clue where they sell it, though, but there is a strong consensus that they make the best.

  Plus they only produce it for the Christmas holidays, not year round like the other brands.

  Maybe try asking in the Club de la Marina in Callao. It has a really nice pool, sports facilities and really great food. I don’t think you need to military to get in.

• 6 Barb // Dec 16, 2008 at 11:41 am

  This is kind of amusing. Only in Peru would the Navy have its own brand of panettone.

  (I’m trying to imagine a similar situation in Great Britain — the army’s own crumpets — or in the United States — special-issue glazed donuts for the Marines.

  Well if you ask the right person, he will tell you that panetons came with Italian immigrants at the end of the 1800s or early 1900s.

  I love panetons, I have not found anyone that doesn’t, and today there are so many different varieties; there is chocolate paneton, panetone with pecans and nuts, among many others

  When I was a child, my family’s favorite was Motta, but that changed when D’onofro bought it.

  I didn’t know that it was not popular in Italy, that’s funny since it came from there. Well, then Peru is THE paneton place

  Erika you are right, I forgot we also have panetons in July because of Independence Day. It’s not as big as Christmas and New Years though.

  I have a friend is in the marines or somethign similar in callao. I’ll see if she knows something…

• 15 Barb // Apr 21, 2009 at 1:31 pm

  Maybe your friend can snag you a few panettones.

  I am of Italian decent and have family in Italy. I have gone there often. Panettone is very popular in northern Italy. I don’t know where the idea that it wasn’t came from, but it particularly popular durning the holidays. And it is fantastic. I can’t imagine that it has improved that much in other countries – even Peru which does have a large Italian population, by the way.

• 17 Barbara // Jul 6, 2009 at 10:54 pm

  Peru’s panettone is decent, but the stores also sell panettone from Italy, and some of it is divine.:)

  Our family usually buys our peruvian panettones from http://www.amigofoods.com

  De nada, Diego. (I’m writing this as I sit at my desk, finishing off the last of the panettone. Toasted with butter….)

  I don’t know where to buy Donofrio panettone in Queens. Ask a New Yorker.

• 26 Natalia // Dec 4, 2009 at 1:24 pm

  Yesterday, I tasted Pandoro (Golden bread)Todinno again, after 27 years. It was like to come back to my childhood. My parents used to sell Pandoro in their store but the brand was Motta. Thank you Todinno, even though it is more expensive than a panettone. If you don´t like dried fruit or raisins, Pandoro could be a good option for you .

  This is my first post here, but I’ve been enjoying this website immensely since I discovered it a couple of days ago. First my qualifications: I have been married to my lovely Pervian wife for almost 4 years now. I met her in Peru and of course I speak fluent Spanish. (with a horrible accent though.) I read it well, but can’t spell worth a darn.

  As to the subject at hand, my wife’s family used to go wait in line when the Panetons went on sale and purchase as many as possible, each one of the adults and older children would stand in line and buy the maximum allowed. They would then go back home and resell them near where they lived for a good profit. It is one of the ways a family in tight circumstances can make some money to help pay for their Christmas celebrations.

  Oh, and I like my paneton sliced into 2 cm strips and cooked french toast style. yum!
