About Pasticceria Filippi
Filippi is a renowned, family-run pasticceria in Zanè, Veneto, known as one of Italy's top panettone producers. Founded in 1972 by Maria and Giuliano Filippi, the tradition is now carried on by their sons, Andrea and Lorenzo, who maintain the same passion and values. Their philosophy centers on using high-quality ingredients and dedicating ample time to perfect their products, including hand-peeled citrus, free-range eggs, fresh butter, and natural yeast.
About Panettone
Panettone differs from other cakes due to its use of a natural sourdough starter that has been maintained for over 40 years. Unlike cakes made with baking powder or soda, panettone’s sourdough fermentation gives it a light, fluffy texture and a subtle tang. This traditional method also naturally extends its shelf life, as the sourdough acts as a preservative, keeping the cake fresh for longer without artificial additives. Combined with high-quality ingredients like butter, eggs, and candied fruits, panettone’s unique preparation and longer shelf life make it distinct from typical cakes.
