Manufacturer History
The origins of Bonifanti's production date back to the early 1900s, when the business was primarily a bread bakery. In the '30s Vincenzo Bonifanti decided to focus on the production of a then little known sweet that was destined to become the symbol of holiday festivities in Italy: panettone. The traditional Milanese recipe was skillfully enhanced with prized Piedmont hazelnuts and the strict use of only natural yeast, in order to create an outstanding cake that is in a class of its own. Still today, production operations, which have been transferred from the original family bakery to an ultra-modern plant in Villafranca Piemonte, are conducted in accordance with the original recipe to create a superb quality product that combines the latest production techniques with the honesty of tradition.
