THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR AT CARLUCCIO’S

Christmas with family and friends will be cherished more than ever this year, and Carluccio’s much-loved Christmas range is back to bring joy to your home. Driven by a genuine passion for artisan Italian produce, Carluccio’s still sources, as it did 20 years ago, the very best products from the length and breadth of Italy. It is this passion that continues to drive Carluccio’s – to this day they never use a middleman, but deal directly with specialist producers to bring you, quite simply, the very best of Italy.

This year, Carluccio’s Christmas collection tells the story of its unique suppliers and their dedication to their craft; from family bakeries in Veneto, to farmers in the hills of Piemonte and clementine growers in Calabria. As well as those hero products that are a must-have at Christmas, Carluccio’s bring you its extensive range of award-winning panettones; from the most traditional to prosecco cream-filled, and limoncello and spritzed-spiked varieties, as well as delicious gluten-free option.
