The company behind Mercadona’s panettone
Fartons Polo is the company in charge of Mercadona panettones. They are based in Alboraya (Valencia) and are known for its production of tiger nut horchata and fartons. The latter is a typical sweet from the area with elongated shape and that is usually dipped in horchata. In Valencia, there is a pastry shop where they make this bun in XXL size.
Returning to the topic of panettones, the company has achieved a certain prestige since A few years ago they entered the II International Championship for ‘Best panettone in the world’. This competition was organized by the FIPG (Italian Federation of Pastry, Ice Cream and Chocolate).
