Is gluten free panettone suitable for people with coeliac disease?

Gluten free panettone is designed to be made without gluten-containing ingredients, but anyone with coeliac disease should check the packaging for a clear gluten free declaration and any relevant certification. In the UK, products labelled gluten free must contain no more than 20 parts per million of gluten.

Why is gluten free panettone made differently from traditional panettone?

Traditional Italian panettone relies on wheat flour to create its characteristic airy, stretchy texture. Gluten free versions use alternative starches and ingredients such as psyllium fibre to help provide structure and retain moisture. This allows bakers to recreate the soft, delicate crumb associated with classic panettone without relying on wheat gluten.

Can gluten free panettone be used in traditional Italian desserts?

Absolutely. Panettone is often used in Italian desserts such as zuccotto, a dome-shaped dessert traditionally filled with cream, chocolate or ricotta. It can also form the base of a festive semifreddo or be served with zabaglione, a light Italian custard made with egg yolks, sugar and sweet wine. Check that any additional ingredients are gluten free when preparing desserts for someone avoiding gluten.
