🍰 Fruit cake for Christmas - only in Peru!

🇵🇪 In Peru, there is no Christmas without fruit cake. You can buy panetón in supermarkets and bakeries weeks in advance.

🥞 The popular panettone cake originally comes from Milan. According to one of many legends, a young baker's apprentice named Antonio fell in love 💑 with a nobleman's daughter from Milan. To prove his love, he baked a Pan de Toni for her. A few years later, a Milanese merchant family brought the Christmas stollen variant to Peru.

🎁 As a result, the pastry enjoys great popularity in all Peruvian families every year. The pastry is now known throughout South America and has become an integral part of the Christmas tradition.

Lohnt sich der Kauf eines gebrauchten VW T3 Wohnmobils? ⁉️

Ganz klar: JEIN!
Der Bulli ist kein Schnäppchen. Technisch in Schuss und gepflegt aber ohne Wertverlust. Ein Oldtimer für Technik-Freaks.
