Chiostro di Saronno's assortment of Republic Italian cookies combines two of Italy's most authentic biscuit varieties - amaretti and Baci di Dama. Each Baci buttery cookie is held together with a dollop of smooth chocolate, adding more flavor and sweetness to each. Amaretti biscuits, on the other hand, are ideally baked to provide a simple yet delicious treat. These superb desserts are beautifully combined in a signature tin box designed with Italy's flag.
Baci di Dama, meaning "lady's kisses," represents an Italian take on sandwich cookies. The name "lady's kisses" was given to Baci since small hazelnut cookies resemble two lips coming together for a kiss. Originating from the Northern Italian region of Piedmont, the recipe of this classic dessert dates back to the 1850s. Although the origin story of Baci di Dama is unclear, according to legends, it was created for the king of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele the 2nd. On the other hand, amaretti cookies have been around since the 17th century. Named after the Italian "amaro," meaning bitter in reference to the bitter almonds or apricot kernels they contain, amaretti cookies can vary from soft to crispy, and they are naturally gluten-free. With their signature bitter, sweet, and nutty flavor, these authentic Italian delights and a wide variety of other Italian classics, including Baci di Dama, ladyfingers, Cantuccini, and more, can be found in our wide selection of Italian cookies!
