Fratelli Sicilia La Giostra — Premium Sourdough Panettone with Sicilian Orange & Raisins

Seventy-two hours. That's how long Fratelli Sicilia lets the dough for La Giostra develop before it ever sees an oven. The result is a panettone of extraordinary depth — a slow-fermented, naturally leavened holiday bread filled with Sicilian orange and plump raisins, presented in a decorative tin box with drumsticks that makes it as beautiful to give as it is to eat.

The Story

La Giostra ("The Carousel") is Fratelli Sicilia's flagship panettone — a labor of love that follows the traditional 72-hour sourdough process used by Italy's most celebrated panettone makers. The extended fermentation develops a complex, slightly tangy flavor and an exceptionally light, feathery crumb that sets it apart from mass-produced alternatives. Filled with fragrant Sicilian orange peel and raisins, it's a panettone that rewards patience.

Usage Tips

Serve at room temperature, sliced generously alongside a glass of Moscato d'Asti, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, or a small pour of aged Marsala. The sourdough complexity pairs beautifully with a creamy Taleggio or mild fresh chèvre on a holiday cheese board. Also exceptional toasted the next morning with good butter and a strong espresso. The decorative tin makes it a standout host gift or centerpiece for a holiday table.
