Pandoro (Italian: [panˈdɔːro]) is an Italian sweet bread, most popular around Christmas and New Year. Typically a product of the city of Verona, Veneto, pandoro traditionally has an eight-pointed shape. It is often dusted with vanilla scented icing sugar, which is said to resemble the snowy peaks of the Alps during Christmas.
Its name and origins are attributed to the Italian pastry chef Domenico Melegatti.
