Bauducco is giving a playful spin on International Panettone Day, transforming the branded December 15th holiday into International Chocottone Day. The move is intended to promote the brand's new product line, which offers "a twist on the Italian holiday sweet loaf" and caters to chocolate lovers.
Bauducco's Chocottone is an indulgent treat for the holidays, distinguished by real chocolate chip fillings and a delectable fudge coating. The brand makes this dessert available in three flavors — Chocottone Chocolate Chips, Chocottone Peanut Butter, and Chocottone Hazelnut Cream.
Juliana Corá Bastos, the marketing and trade marketing director of Bauducco International BU, enthusiastically shared: “By declaring it International Chocottone Day, we’re honoring heritage and tradition while welcoming the next generation of consumers to experience this evolution of the classic panettone.”
