In an article published by Il Gusto, pastry chef Anna Sartori was named among the 10 best colombe cakes of 2026, thanks to a recipe faithful to tradition, characterised by long fermentation and natural aromas.

This recognition confirms the excellence and research that have always distinguished the Sartori workshop.

Master pastry chef Anna Sartori was among the guests of honour at the important event dedicated to Italian Panettone organised by the famous Hankyu Umeda megastore in Osaka (Japan).

The event, which celebrates Italian confectionery excellence, was organised with the support of the Consulate General of Italy in Osaka and the Italian Cultural Institute in Osaka, two institutions committed to promoting Italian culture and excellence around the world.

During the event, Anna Sartori represented the Consortium for the Protection of Refreshed Sourdough Starter and brought the quality and authenticity of Sartori Panettone to Osaka, produced exclusively with live sourdough starter and refreshed every day — an artisanal process that makes it unique.

Anna’s participation in this prestigious initiative is not only a personal recognition, but also a moment of great pride for our entire pastry shop and for those who choose the quality of Sartori Panettone every day.

In Japan, Anna Sartori represents Italian panettone — recognised for her professionalism, her passion and her simply exceptional product.
