Wild Hearth Panettone

Hand-making an artisanal, naturally leavened panettone is a formidable challenge. It all starts with the lievito madre (mother culture), which is managed with utmost care for a month before it is used. Then comes the three-day process, which is so exacting that mistakes at any stage can spoil an entire batch. As with everything else they do, however, John and his team at Wild Hearth have absolutley nailed the process and their panettone won Show Champion at the 2022 Royal Highland Show Scottish Bread Awards.
