 It's winter and it's time for
Snow, Rain & Panettone!
It's wild in the warehouse out-west!
With dropping temperatures and a torrent of rain, the Panettone arrived! (and it’s fabulous!)
We are stacked to the rafters, filled to the gunwales, a flash flood of holiday arrivals has occurred. The warehouse is even spilling into the store!
So order away before it all disappears on some (soon) Saturday. (And don’t worry, it lasts almost forever on the hutch.) Just keep it in its original, beautiful wrapping.
It’s the best pre-wrapped Christmas present ever!
Just to be sure, get more than one; one to eat now, and one to give to someone close to you so they can share!
You might not be able to judge a book by its cover, but with the wrappings of a Panettone you can!
This year we have almost 30 different choices of Panettones to choose from. And this year you can see all of them on one page on our brand new website!
Click here and check out all the cakes and the new, your new website!

 Traditional Panforte
from Siena, birthplace of Panforte
Like the stained glass of the Duomo di Siena, a slice of Flamigni Tradizionale Panforte positively glows. Unwrap the paper wrapping and find a foil bag with a packet of powdered sugar. Open the bag and you will uncover a panforte made in Siena.
Looking like a cake without it's frosting, you see every delicious morsel of candied fruit and nuts in plain site. You "swaddle" in powdered sugar and then slice into thin, thin pieces. The first bite is better than you can imagine. Not hard, but soft, full of flavor and filled with holiday joy!
Made from September to February, we have panforte in November and December. This year we offer one from three brothers, Flamigni. The company was started in 1930, where they continue to produce their specialities in the traditional ways. Using the same ingredients and following the recipes that are over 8o years old.
Where fruitcake, stollen and panforte are similar in their use of candied fruit and nuts, the "feel" of each is wildly different. For me, I like all three, and no holiday is complete without these very special treats!

Converting Skeptics
One Fruitcake at a Time
Our Lady of Guadalupe is a community of 32 monks, most of whom have spent their adult lives at this Abbey. Their days are filled with prayer, work, spiritual study and contemplation. Trappists are committed to self-sufficiency, and strive to live solely by the work of their own hands. To this end, Our Lady of Guadalupe is home to several small industries: they sustainably harvest 900 acres of Douglas Fir, operate a small bookbinding shop, manage a large wine warehouse serving their neighbors - and they bake and sell an amazing fruitcake.
The Trappist Abbey recipe is old-fashioned and straightforward - and so is their fruitcake. Dark and dense, and loaded with fruit and nuts, and not with the typical maraschino cherries and green citron - instead they use raisins, candied pineapple, and candied cherries. Baked for almost three hours, the cakes are then soaked in fine brandy. Most of the alcohol evaporates and the rich brandy flavor is absorbed. The cakes are then aged for three months to develop the flavor, a unique balance of the sweet fruits and moist walnuts and pecans with a pleasant finish of spices and brandy.
