Italy's vanilla-scented holiday bread studded with whole raisins and gilded with whole almonds.

Fraccaro was founded by Elena and Giovanni Fraccaro in 1932 and is one of the few commercial manufacturers of traditional Italian holiday breads and cakes to use real butter and high-quality fruit. Each of their products are made fresh -- never frozen and are naturally leavened. We believe these to be the best holiday cakes available in their price range.

Our newest find from Fraccaro is aPanettone basso (a flatter, shorter panettone that is equally as moist), without candied fruit and topped or “iced” (glassato) with whole almonds.
