About Melegatti

Melegatti was founded in Verona in 1894 and is best known for pandoro, the tall star-shaped Christmas cake the city claims as its own, along with panettone and filled croissants. Italian Christmas baking is intensely seasonal and intensely traditional, and the company's reputation rests on making those recipes at scale without abandoning them.
