The festive season is fast approaching and with it comes the perfect opportunity to indulge in a little bit of what you fancy with friends and family.

Each year, a plethora of tasty treats hit the shelves and, this Christmas, Gin Mare has teamed up with renowned Italian chef Theo Randall and baker Rocco Tanzerella to create a show-stopping centerpiece bound to get your guests talking for all of the right reasons.

Introducing the limited-edition Ginettone! Paying homage to Gin Mare’s Mediterranean origin the Ginettone embodies the classic taste and texture associated with a traditional Italian panettone, complete with a contemporary twist.

Using the distinctive savoury botanicals that Gin Mare is so well known for as a base, Randall and Tanzerella have dedicated hours to trialing flavour combinations to cleverly craft a truly unique product which hits the perfect balance of sweet and savoury.

The herbaceous notes of rosemary, thyme and basil subtly compliment the sweetness of the bread, while a welcome hint of saltiness comes in the form of Spanish-sourced Arbequina olives, which are infused in Gin Mare for 24 hours before being combined with candied citrus fruits for guaranteed full on flavour in every bite.

Ginettone by Gin Mare will be sold exclusively through Harvey Nichols from 8th November 2018, both online and in eight nationwide stores, retailing at £22 for 500g. There is a limited stock of just 500, so if you want to get your hands on one you’ll need to be quick! It will also be available to enjoy on the menu at Theo Randall at Intercontinental Park Lane throughout December with a paired Gin Mare cocktail.
