The Ingredients
The aroma reveals all the authenticity of the ingredients, the taste is enveloping, warm and perfectly balanced
Calciano Panettoni have a very specific character, they are recognizable with your eyes closed. The perfume reveals all the genuineness of the ingredients.
Stone-ground flours with wheat germ: more health, more taste.
Flours
We use type 1 stone-ground flour as it was done in the past, to avoid overheating, thus keeping the organoleptic properties intact. The flours we choose have 30% fiber, a much higher quantity than wholemeal. The real added value is certainly the wheat germ; a dough with wheat germ flour is tastier, more fragrant and easier to digest. Wheat germ raises the body’s immune defences, has a rebalancing action on the metabolism and slows down ageing. It benefits health, eyesight and even mood, and last but not least, it reduces the glycemic impact by 30%.
