Panettone Day 2026 artisanal competition

Overview

The 2026 Panettone Day competition, held in Milan at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology, recognized several winners in the artisanal leavened product categories. The event featured blind judging led by Master Gino Fabbri and was a collaboration between Novacart and CSM Ingredients' Braims brand.

Initial results identified Alessandro Botti of La Palma 1914 as the winner for Best Traditional Panettone, alongside Francesco Bertolini for Creative Sweet and Magda Fasciglione for Chocolate. The competition also highlighted an evolution in culinary trends through the introduction of a new category for savory creative panettone. Antonio Giannotti won this category, which reflects a growing movement to use traditional dough with ingredients like olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and cured meats.

Following the final held on September 3, organizers announced that a temporary shop will open in Milan from October 7 to November 1, 2026. This venue will allow the public to purchase creations from the competition finalists.
