As the holiday season is still underway in Italy, host Jaclyn DeGiorgio, a Milan-based food tour guide and food writer, thought she'd keep with the seasonal theme and release an episode from season one that delves into some panettone-related legal shenanigans.

Pertinent episode notes below: 

Panettone features prominently in the media every holiday season, but this year Milan's signature leavened delight garnered some aberrant attention, which food writer Jaclyn DeGiorgio discusses in the episode.  Warning: she's rather upset by some of the shady practices! 

Here are links to the sources cited and/or consulted for the episode.
