The box opens, and chocolate is the first thing you see. A knife cuts through the crisp dark chocolate shavings, and the pandoro reveals a thick, glossy gianduja cream, a blend of hazelnut and cocoa that slowly flows onto the plate. This is Paluani’s Zanzibar Gianduja Cream Pandoro, the most indulgent of all pandori.

Imagine a Sunday table in December, somewhere in Italy. The coffee is ready, the children already have their eyes on the platter, and Nonna places the pandoro in the centre, saying: “Wait, wait… look what’s inside.” The knife goes in, the cream appears, and the whole table leans in at once.

The first bite. The chocolate gives way first, with its slightly bitter dark chocolate shavings, then comes the cake, soft and fluffy, and finally the gianduja cream: milk chocolate and hazelnut, a rounded sweetness that envelops everything. I take a second slice, the one you have “just for one more taste,” and suddenly I’m in a little café in Verona on a December afternoon, a steaming cup in front of me, my fingers a little sticky with chocolate, and no one wants to speak.

Paluani’s Zanzibar Gianduja Cream Pandoro combines the great Christmas cake of the Verona tradition with one of Italy’s most famous pairings: chocolate and hazelnut. This baked pastry is made with natural sourdough, then filled with milk chocolate and gianduja hazelnut cream. It is covered in chocolate and decorated with crunchy dark chocolate shavings. The filling is the iconic Zanzibar gianduja cream, crafted for the most discerning palates.

You don’t buy a filled pandoro “just to have a dessert.” You buy it for the moment the knife sinks in, the cream appears, and the whole table leans in to see.

A moment of escape, anywhere in Canada. It’s 4:30 p.m., it’s already dark in Halifax, Ottawa, or Calgary, and the snow has been falling since morning. You place the pandoro on the table, cut the first slice, and for ten minutes, the kitchen smells of Italy. The chocolate melts slowly on the tongue, and outside, it may well be −25 °C.

WHY WE USE THIS SHIPPING SYSTEM ONCE A WEEK

The reason is simple: that's why we use this shipping system once a week, where products are shipped on Sundays.

If we were to keep all products in large quantities, we would need a very, very, very large warehouse, like a large distribution center. The cost of that would significantly increase our prices.

Instead, we keep limited stock and receive weekly deliveries.

However, not all of our 100+ suppliers deliver at the same time, and not all of them have an accurate inventory system — and that's another story lol.

For this reason, in order to build your package, we have to wait for products from all suppliers. If we already have all the items, your package may be sent faster. It also depends on the volume of orders.

We hope you understand 🙏

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

All orders are dispatched once a week, on Sundays. All services, including express service, follow this same shipping schedule.

You place an order here (Week 1) – for example: whether it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

👉 This is considered our order week (Week 1).

👉 Your order will be prepared from the following Monday until Saturday, then dispatched on the following Sunday (the next Sunday, not the one in the week you ordered).

👉 If you order on Sunday or later in the new week, your package will then be dispatched the Sunday after that, approximately 14 days later.

Product FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED?

Orders are processed weekly.

If you place your order before Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (not the immediate Sunday).

If you order after Sunday, it will be processed and shipped on the following Sunday (i.e., the second Sunday after your order).

WHERE ARE THESE PRODUCTS LOCATED?

All our products are already in Canada, in our warehouse, ready to be shipped. You will not have any customs fees or hidden charges upon delivery.

WHY DO YOU SHIP ONCE A WEEK?

Because we work with several importers and suppliers.

Some products are in limited quantity in our warehouse and we must wait for the missing items to be received.

Since our suppliers do not all deliver on the same day, we consolidate orders and ship once a week to ensure your order is complete.

WHY IS AN ITEM MISSING FROM MY ORDER?

Some of our suppliers do not have a real-time inventory system and do not always notify us when a product is out of stock.

In addition, some received items may have an expiration date that is too soon. We check each product upon receipt and remove those that do not meet our standards.

If an item is missing, it is because we have chosen not to include it in order to guarantee you the best possible quality.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A RETURN POLICY?

As these are food products, we cannot accept returns for safety and hygiene reasons.

Once a product has been shipped, we cannot guarantee the storage or handling conditions.

Why has the price of this product increased since my last order?

Our products are purchased in euros, so the exchange rate directly influences our prices.

In addition, transportation and import costs can vary, which can also impact the final price.
