Panettone Flavor?
Good afternoon, friends.
I hope everything is swell for you during this blessed season.
I am on need of some direction, regarding panettone. I am reading Piegiorgio Giorilli's commercial yeast panettone formula. Before I can attempt this labor of love, I need clarification as to what exactly is "panettone Flavor"? Additionally, what could I substitute for this name sake ingredient? Thanks for any help you can offer. My wish for all is happiness and peace though the joy of God, the winter solise, and life in general.
Christmas cookies baked by me for attention.
Peace on earth

This is the usual panettone flavoring. You can also use orange essence and vanilla.... but fiori di sicilia gives a unique scent and flavor that is very pleasing. I like the one from King Arthur.
Thanks for your direction. After investigation along the lines of your suggestion, here is what I found.
On Amazon, I found a products made in Italia, by a known respected essence co. (Oliveiri) They make a panettone essence, as well as flore di Sicilia. Both of these products boast that they do not contain alcohol or vanilla. That information caused me to drop King Arthurs offering out of contention. From what I could glean about Oliveiri 's offering the description was very similar . I opted for the panettone essence only because the 2oz. More economical size in the flore was out of stock. According to the U.S. packer info Oliveiri invented both the flori, panettone essence formulas. Thank you so much for you quick reply. The order is due here in AZ. By Sunday. (How the heck can Amazon do that?) Amazing!
Kind regards,
Will F.
I will have to try this one..... here is my current collection:

FYI. The homemade baking flori Sicilia, is the Oliveiri. Here is the Amazon link. The $5.00 extra for double the size swayed me to the panettone essence. I will at some point pick up the flori also. I'll check back for availability of the 2oz. Size. Thanks again!!!
Kindly,
Will F.
I neglected to drop the link.

Enjoy the blessings of the season.

Ah.... well, I find the King Arthur fiori di sicilia to be quite a bit..... more to my liking, not that it is better in an absolute sense. As you can see, I've tried a few. I haven't tried the French one yet, but I am not optimistic based on their orange paste and orange peel.
P.S. this morning I am occupying my mind with yet another Kaiser roll folding exercise. A restless mind is calmed when I have only the rolls as a priority. I did my very best today. I am thinking I will not get better that this no matter how many repetitions. Smile...
Best regards,

Hi, Sue!
Guess who? Yes it's me again. LOL... I kill me.
I see you use LorAnn also. I can highly recommend her Anise oil. This is a quality product. (Strong) use with a soft touch. My other aromas are boring Mc Cormick. Vanilla, lemon, banana. Oh, I forgot, I also have rose water essence buried amongst my spiced. This is a North African flavor my mom used often.
Kindly,
Will F.
Thank you, I will check these out! One thing I am looking for, is the "right" spice mixture to make pain d'epices as found in Beaune, France...... the anise oil made me think of it.
i don't have a Beaune spice mix, but perhaps this one from the Moselle region may be of interest, Sue?

Hi Lance,
Oh that is Perfect!! I have saved the pdf and will get to work on the spice blend. I'm very encouraged.
If you have ever been to Beaune or Dijon, there is "gingerbread" everywhere and particularly at this shop:

They make the dough into every imaginable shape and size... It is not very sweet, and might be a somewhat acquired taste, but I've been wanting to make some for the last 2 years.
thanks!! Sue
Here's another page that was in that recipe:

You probably don't need it, but for completeness...
I might be able to find another recipe or two if you ever need them.
