An Italian Christmas

Our Italian roots have always shaped the way we celebrate Christmas - with food being the heartbeat of every gathering and the table as a place to linger. This year, we’ve selected some of our favourite festive Italian treats to enjoy with family and friends, or as a thoughtful gift for any food lovers…

Seggiano Traditional Panforte

Embrace Christmas like a true Italian with this versatile festive treat. Produced exclusively in the province of Siena, this aromatic fruit and nut cake is packed full of local honey, toasted almonds, candied citrus peels and rich spices. Slice thinly and serve as a sweet snack with coffee, or add it to your cheeseboard for a hint of sweetness.

Marabissi Cantucci Biscuits

These handcrafted, classic Tuscan-style biscuits are known for their satisfyingly crisp texture and just-baked flavour. Heavily laden with sliced almonds, they are ideal for dipping in a sweet wine like Vin Santo, or with coffee. 

Vergani ‘Free From’ Panettones

Authentic flavour doesn't need to mean traditional ingredients. Our range of ‘free from’ panettones ensure that everyone can enjoy a classic Italian Christmas. Available in Vegan, Gluten-Free Classic and Gluten-Free Chocolate varieties, these delicious panettones are made with alternative rice and corn starch flours to achieve a texture as light, fluffy and delicious as any traditional recipe. 

Bonci Panbriacone

At last, a dessert just for grown-ups! Translated as ‘drunk cake’, this super-indulgent panettone has been steeped in a heady blend of sweet wines and enriched with Corianthian raisins and sultanas. Enjoy this decadent treat after dark, just add a crackling fire and the glow of twinkling tree lights. 

All of these are available in-store only, so come and visit our Faversham Foodhall while they are  still on the shelves! We’re open 7 days a week and there’s free parking right outside. Visit Our Food Hall.
