Crafting Christmas since 1933
For generations, Busy Bee has been part of Maltese Christmas celebrations, bringing families together through the flavours and traditions that make this time of year so special.
One of those traditions is our artisan panettone.
Passed down through generations, the recipe is now in the care of Luke Friggieri, who oversees production alongside his artisan team, continuing the tradition with the same care and patience.
Its preparation begins months before the Christmas season. The dough is left to rise slowly for 24 hours, developing its delicate, buttery flavour and soft, fluffy texture. Once baked, each panettone is hung upside down to cool, following a traditional process.
There's a lot of time, patience and craftsmanship behind every one.
For us, it's more than a Christmas sweet. It's a tradition made to be shared with loved ones. Because Christmas at Busy Bee has always been about bringing people together ⭐
