With National Sandwich Month and National Panini Month comes National Panini Day! The Italians blessed us with this scrumptious lunchtime treat, made using grilled non-sliced bread.

While the original panini had been mentioned centuries ago in an Italian cookbook, the dish did not become a hit until between the 1970s and 1980s. Back then, coffee-and-panini bars were the stomping grounds for young Italian hipsters. These trendy youngsters were called “paninari,” popularizing vibrant Italian clothing, fast food, and even faster motorcycles. The panini fit perfectly into their “chow-on-the-go” plans. The beauty of the panini is that it is so simple, but so delicious. Today, we say grab a fresh loaf of baguette, ciabatta, or Rosetta bread and get busy with a panini press!

As the panini presents a different approach to sandwich enjoyment, we suggest presenting a different approach to your client appreciation. Try sending our special You2 Gift Box their way today!
