Alicorp
We would like to thank Alicorp for sponsoring our Friday afternoon snack at CLima with a traditional sampling of Paneton.
"Italian immigrants arrived to Peru several decades ago, bringing with them their wonderful food, which we adopted at once with utmost pleasure. Among their most popular confections waspanettone, a festive yeasted sweet bread famous in Italy during the Christmas celebrations. Surprisingly to many, Peru is now the third largest consumer of panettone in the world, only behindItaly –the champion,- and Argentina, wich has the second place.
We call it panetón, and every Christmas you can see tens of brands, both industrial and artisanal, in every store and market in the country. Having a mug of hot chocolate or a café con leche, along with a big slice of panetón for breakfast, or a mid afternoon snack, is very common among Peruvians at this time of the year (a lot of people love it smothered with butter and strawberry marmalade). Its popularity is so overwhelming that some brands sell the bread also in July, for the Independence celebrations, or even throughout the year."
