This year’s Christmas has a mix of flavors. On the one hand, the advance of vaccination against Covid-19 in the country leaves a more optimistic climate, which makes families plan the meeting that was postponed last year because of the virus. But, on the other hand, it only takes a look at the market to realize something — everything is very expensive, including the Panettone and Chocotone options.
But, even with inflation approaching 11% and scaring economists’ projections for next year, it is still possible to find good options for Christmas bread fillings and flavors in different price ranges, such as Panettone for less than R$ 40 — and even a traditional recipe for less than R$20, such as Dona Deôla’s Panettone. But, of course, there is no shortage of more elaborate options that exceed R$200, such as the one sold by Fasano.
Below, check out a list of 15 good options for Panettone to buy in São Paulo in bakeries, pastry shops and specialty stores. There are classic, stuffed and even gluten-free or vegan options. Revenues are separated by price bands to facilitate year-end accounts.
