Here in Canada in Ontario, up until about five years ago, they used to sell panettone everywhere during Christmas … grocers used to stock them everywhere and about four or five different brands. Cheaper ones came in all plastic wrapping and more expensive ones came wrapped in plastic and contained in fancy decorative cardboard boxes. And back then, we had the choice of size and they were usually large sized.

Now we have limited supplies and the displays for them are even hard to find. We only have one brand now ‘Massimo’ and they are more the smaller size. Every year now, all my Italian Canadian friends go on a frenzy looking for them … as soon as they come out, they disappear.

Don’t know what happened to the supply but we don’t see much of them any more.

Uh, what? Every grocery store in Southern Ontario has pallets of at least a dozen different panetone brands and pandoro.

  Lucky you … I’m up in northern Ontario and in most of the places up here Sudbury/Timmins/New Liskeard/North Bay … the supply seems to have dried up over the years … we used to see lots, now we see a lot less.

    Don’t laugh … I’ve personally known two people who died of an overdose, one got turned to a vegetable (he’s still alive, if you can call it that) and several who did overdose but survived.

There’s a local Mercato near me that stocks all the different types. I prefer to get them from there anyway because Galen Weston doesn’t need that money.
