The project took off in the 2000s, with the contribution of top chefs like Peter Brunel and Danilo Angé. They strongly believed in the idea of Panettone as an ingredient that can be used in any kind of dish, whether sweet or savory.
In 2010 the company launched Insolito Panettone, a bilingual website that has brought chefs and bloggers together, to help free the Panettone from its usual clichés, so to make it a year-round product.
Panettone is a traditional Italian sweet bread that is strongly tied to the winter season. At Loison, there has always been a commitment to free it from its bonds to the holidays and make it available as a year-round confection.
This is not a new idea. Since the early 2000s, Dario Loison has been intensely collaborating with numerous chefs (from Herbert Hintner to Peter Brunel, Danilo Angè and Fabrizio Ferrari) to create an extraordinary background, where Panettone ... [read more]

Pastry chefs Dario Loison and Mathias Bachmann celebrate the opening of the Gotthard railway tunnel with a new Panettone.
The basic dough of this Loison sweet bread is enriched with butter made by Caseificio Gottardo in Airolo and with chocolate made by Felchlin, a historical company based in Schwyz.

It is a true fact that a cherished Collection is the product of Passion and that from a Collection comes continuous Research. As most museums, Loison’s Museum originates from a private collection too, the fruit of love for the world of pastry making and for all the memorabilia related to it.
This little piece of history has grown over the years, thanks to Dario Loison’s perseverance while seeking for trinkets in antique markets, hidden shops and even on the web. Each of them is unique for its history, rarity, condition, usefulness and the skilled hands that have touched it over the years. They are silent and yet, still witness to a bygone era of material splendor and therefore a precise insight into the society of that time.
The machines, in particular, ... [read more]
