Distinctives attributes

Unlike its counterpart, panettone, pandoro is typically baked in a tall, star-shaped mould, giving it a distinctive appearance reminiscent of a Christmas tree.

Artisan

It all began in Foligno, the vibrant heart of Umbria, which holds a central place in Italy's geographical and cultural landscape. The story unfolds through the skilled hands of Tommaso Muzzi.

In the year 1875, his pastry shop distinguished itself at 61 Via Garibaldi. Situated along the east-west axis, reminiscent of the medieval city's symbolic "cross," this location remains a poignant reminder of Foligno's rich heritage, despite the changes brought about by post-war urban development.

Today, the enduring legacy of a family dedicated to the core principles of their craft—elegance and quality is palpable. Ensuring the continued excellence of their offerings is Andrea, the great-grandson of Tommaso and proud father of Marta, Edoardo, and Michelangelo.

For Muzzi's, above all else, is a tale of remarkable family heritage and tradition.

Origin

Pandoro, a traditional sweet Italian bread hailing from Verona, embodies a rich history and a unique flavour profile that captivates the senses. Its name, meaning "golden bread," reflects both its golden colour and its royal origins, as it was once exclusively enjoyed by nobility during the Renaissance era. The recipe for pandoro dates back centuries, featuring a delicate dough enriched with butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, resulting in a soft and airy texture with a subtle hint of sweetness.
