The most magical time of the year is approaching, and people are starting to think about decorations, gifts and the Christmas menu! And what can't be missing from the Christmas menu? Panettone, of course! If then your favorite flavor is Pistachio, here is a short guide to recognize the best Pistachio Panettoni, in the jungle of offers in front of you. Beyond personal taste, in fact, there are certain characteristics that the best Pistachio Panettone must absolutely have.
If you have the opportunity to visit in person the various manufacturers or retailers, it would certainly be ideal to taste the various Panettoni to find the one that best suits your needs. But online is a different story. To find the best Pistachio Panettone you will have to analyze some very important aspects.
If you are looking for an artisanal Panettone, first of all, this cannot have a shelf life of more than 3 months. This, in fact, would mean that preservatives or other additives were used in the production of the Panettone to extend its shelf life.
When searching for the best Pistachio Panettone online, also pay attention to the product images. A too bright green color, for example, is a symptom of using dyes. Pistachio, in fact, has by nature a color that tends toward light green/brown and certainly not neon green.
When, therefore, you find pictures of Panettoni with a markedly green topping icing or with a Pistachio Cream that is too brightly colored, pay attention and read the ingredient list carefully, which on sites MUST always be listed!
Among the wide range of Panettoni, to find the best Pistachio Panettone we also recommend looking for a Panettone that is not already filled, but has the Cream for the filling separately. This way, in fact, you will be able to dose the Cream on each slice as you like and you will be sure of a product without preservatives or alcohol.
What makes a product the best Pistachio Panettone is also definitely the sourdough starter, that is, the natural leavening agent used in the production of Panettone. Only this, in fact, is able to give Panettone a truly unique taste and fluffiness.
Fundamental to having a good Panettone are the raw materials. Pay attention, therefore, to the percentage of Pistachios used, both in the Panettone and in the Cream, the type of eggs or butter, which are essential for the production of an excellent artisanal product.
Finally pay attention to what is being said around-that is, read the various reviews, about the product but also about the company in general. Pay attention to the date of the reviews and the number of ratings that both the product and the company have received over time.
In this way, even in case you cannot go in person to taste the product, you will still have a chance to get a good idea of what you are going to buy.
Choose an artisanal product and your palate will thank you!
