Do you want to escape the traditional candied fruit panettone? Come and discover some different options and take the opportunity to choose one for your Christmas dinner!
As the end of year festivities approach, the demand for the famous chocotones and panetones increases, considered essential elements for Christmas lunch.
However, sometimes we get stuck with the traditional candied fruit and chocolate flavors and forget about the other creative options that can also make the party with loved ones even tastier and more innovative.
With this in mind, Boa Forma has tasted a number of products with different flavors that deserve to be on its menu this year.
- Italian Panettone Limoncello, Empório Santa Maria
For those who want to move away from traditional chocolate, this panettone, filled with lemon liqueur cream, is an excellent choice. Toasted with natural yeast, it gives a sweet, fragrant flavor and a compact consistency.
Comment: “I adored this panettone! It has so much filling, it is very tasty and its dough is soft. The limoncello cream, in addition to being delicious and sweet in the right measure, is also creamy, perfect for those who love desserts made with lemon “.
The products of the Empório Santa Maria line can be purchased through its own stores and on the official website of the St. Marzo.
- Bolotone Chocolate Carrots St. March
St. Le Marche’s chocolate carrot bolotone is a head-turning option during the end-of-year festivities. This is because, in addition to being different, it is well filled with ganache and its cover is made with a crunchy layer of chocolate and tails.
It is produced with an exclusive dough from the kitchen of S. Marche, a neighborhood supermarket that guarantees taste and quality in its products.
Comment: “This is one of the most diverse I’ve ever eaten. The dough is fresh and has a very strong carrot flavor. Besides being very filled, the ganache is definitely one of the strong points of this product, as it has a mouth watering and very creamy”.
It can be purchased in S. Marche and also through the official website.
- Chocotone Pistachio Brigadeiro, Pasticceria Carmella
If you’re a pistachio fan, you definitely won’t be disappointed with this chocotone, which is filled with pistachio brigadier and also has chocolate chips in the dough. Its cover is made with a white chocolate and decorated with pistachio pieces.
Carmella Patisserie’s exclusive line of gift items is signed by pastry chef Lucca Guilger, partner of Isabella de Barros at the helm of the brand, who recently opened her first physical store in Pinheiros.
“Being able to receive people at home with a beautiful cake on the table, give dear friends impeccable desserts, thank customers with personalized gifts, welcome guests who will always remember the moment, this is our job,” says Isabella.
Comment: “It was the first time I tasted a pistachio chocotone. And, I confess, I really enjoyed the experience with this product. Filled with chocolate drops, the dough is very light, but what really stands out is the filling, made with a pistachio brigadeiro that has a very remarkable taste. Also, the white chocolate coating with pistachio pieces is a difference that really makes the product even more delicious. Another point that caught my attention is the presentation of this product, which is decorated with an impeccable shape and has a navy blue tone packaging that conveys a lot of elegance”.
