In Christmas anything goes. Something inexplicable happens to us, our swallows relax and we allow things that, in another context, we would not accept even under the influence of a carafe of marc. Very few get rid of this craziness transitory, no one knows what causes it, the only thing we know for sure is that when these dates of harmony arrive, the armed robbery disguised as gourmet Christmas products.
65 euros for a panettone. Here is the astronomical figure that a friend of mine paid for a kilo artisan piece in a well-known chocolate house. These days I have been able to speak with a couple of panettone masters and if I have learned something, it is that an artisan panettone is a hugely complex piece to elaborate. This sweet requires few hours of sleep, total dedication to the sourdough and a lot of vocation. And let’s not forget the ingredients, which have to be of the highest quality (no artificial flavors, blah, blah, blah). Obviously, all these factors make the product more expensive, but it is one thing to make it more expensive and quite another to have a butterfly knife placed on your ribs and plucked.
Everybody to the floor!

My favorite panettone is made in Cloudstreet Bakery. I know that it is a piece of goldsmith Made of supreme materials and all the guarantees of the best artisan product. In its online store, the kilo piece is 40 euros, a fair price for a sweet that is a occasional luxury, no one doubts it, but never an exclusive whim for the nouveau riche. I do not care if the eggs are from a happy hen fed with beluga caviar, if the chocolate is made in a pagan hamlet in Switzerland or if we are facing the new genius of the famous chef on duty: a 65 euro panettone is not a panettone, is a robbery.
