Here is a specialty from Loison bakery that was created in 1930s by Dario Loison’s grandfather: it is a type of FILONE, an elongated, baguette shaped loaf with chocolate bits that is similar to, but not the same dough, as panettone. It is a soft, leavened cake with delicious dark chocolate drops, coated in a crumbly glaze, made with cocoa and PGI Piedmont hazelnuts, which gives the loaf unforgettable texture and flavor. It can be sliced and enjoyed or sliced and toasted. Either way, it is delicious and shows what deliciousness can come from thinking outside of the box.
