news

Nowhere does gourmet food quite like Italy, especially at Christmastime! From sumptuous panettone and amaretti to premium Italian fruit jellies or moreish sweet, chewy nougat, our selection has something to suit everyone.

Learn more about some of our favourite Italian delicacies here, and explore our whole range of Italian goodies online and in-store.

Buon Natale!

Panettone

Limoncello Panettone Cake
Hailing from Milan in the sixteenth century, this traditional sweet bread has now become a staple for the Festive Season across the world! Although traditionally a panettone was studded with dried fruit and spiced like a Christmas cake, these days you can find all kinds of flavours to enjoy.
For a lighter taste, try Lazzaroni's Limoncello Panettone, and you can't go wrong with Augusta's Handwrapped Panettoni in any flavour (we're very fond of the new Dubai Pistachio flavour). For gifting, we recommend Augusta's Panettone Gift Tins - a delicious addition to anyone's Christmas table!

Amaretti Biscuits

Amaretti di Saronno are a traditional biscuit hailing from Saronno in Lombardy. These bitter-sweet morsels can be crunchy or soft, but either way, they're delicious with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine!
Go traditional with Lazzaroni's Amaretti di Saronno, or choose Marabissi's Christmas Amaretti Gift Box as a beautiful gift for a coffee lover, or why not treat yourself to a bag or two of Augusta's Classic Soft Amaretti to help these dark mornings feel lighter? 

Italian Chocolates

Switzerland and Belgium might have a monopoly on European chocolate production, but Italy's offering cannot be overlooked. 

Baratti & Milano is one of Italy's most prestigious confectionery companies, and their Christmas Gift Box of assorted chocolates is guaranteed to go down a treat with any chocolate lover. For some unique stocking fillers, why not pick up some Antica Pistachio Truffles? Or a box of Majani Cinquino Chocolates for the Fiat 500 admirer in your life!

Sweets & Nuts

If you're on the hunt for an alternative to chocolates, you can't go wrong with our selection of Italian fruit jellies and candied nuts. 
Baratti & Milano's Traditional Fruit Jellies are presented in beautiful pillow boxes that make exquisite gifts, or why not try Antica's Almond Pralinate for something with a bit more bite? And why not treat yourself to some Marrons Glace for a truly indulgent treat?

Buon Natale Hamper

If you're simply feeling spoilt for choice, why not pick up our specially selected Buon Natale Italian Festive Hamper? Available with white or red wine, this hand-packed hamper is sure to make your loved ones molto felice!
