This is a story that has the sweetness of powdered sugar, a story that starts back 135 years ago, thanks to a very young Francesco Panarello. It was 1885 when Francesco, first apprentice and then head of a laboratory in a pastry shop in the center of Genoa, had an idea…he wanted to improve the most traditional of the Genoese products, the Pandolce. He enriched the recipe with butter, sugar and candied fruits. The product achieved success, the sales increased and then a lucky combination: Francesco takes over the activities where he worked beginning a long company story, that still now bears his name.
