The world's largest producer of panettones introduces a new indulgent holiday confection to the United States, with events across New York City

MIAMI, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bauducco^®, the world's largest producer of panettone, today announces the launch of Bauducco Chocottone^®, a chocolate-forward reimagining of the beloved Italian holiday sweet loaf, in the U.S. Developed as an exclusive trademark within Bauducco^®'s signature panettone line, the new confection combines Bauducco^®'s rich heritage of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary flavors designed to bring more sweetness and indulgent moments to the season.

Bauducco Chocottone^® is an airy, ready-to-eat holiday sweet loaf studded with real chocolate chips and finished with an indulgent fudge coating that can also be used for breakfast classics like French toast. Whether it's a weekend brunch, a celebration with friends, or a cozy breakfast with loved ones, the Bauducco Chocottone^® is a delicious way to share holiday joy. The new confection is available in three indulgent flavors, including:

• Chocottone^® Chocolate Chips: Featuring creamy chocolate chips and a fudge coating. 
• Chocottone^® Peanut Butter: Indulgent peanut butter, creamy chocolate chips and a fudge coating.
• Chocottone^® Hazelnut Cream: Smooth hazelnut cream, creamy chocolate chips and a fudge coating.

"As we hold an impressive 86% share of the American panettone category, our research shows that today's U.S. holiday consumers are increasingly seeking indulgent, chocolate-forward treats that reflect evolving tastes. Bauducco Chocottone^® was created to meet this desire for richer, sweeter flavors while preserving the artisanal quality that defines our Panettone; it represents a natural and strategic evolution for our brand. Bauducco Chocottone^® is our gateway to introducing panettone to a new generation of consumers," said Juliana Corá Bastos, Marketing & Trade Marketing Director, Bauducco^® International BU.
