Chiostro di Saronno Cantuccini are Italian almond cookies characterized by their crispy texture and balanced sweet flavor. Cantucci are baked to perfection without butter or oil, creating an extra crunchy treat that’s been an irreplaceable part of the Tuscan dessert and breakfast tradition for centuries.
Cantuccini, also known as biscotti, are traditional Italian almond biscuits that supposedly originated in the Tuscan city of Prato in the 16th century. Though modern biscotti are associated with the Tuscan region of Italy, this beloved Italian cookie traces its origins back to Roman times. During the Renaissance, Cantuccini were used by explorers like Christopher Columbus, who supposedly took some of these portable treats with him on his travels. You can find a wide variety of Cantuccini as well as other Italian classics such as amaretti, Baci di Dama, ladyfingers, and more in our wide selection of Italian cookies!
