Cantuccini are traditional Italian almond biscuits that supposedly originated in the Tuscan city of Prato in the 16th century. Famed for their sophisticated taste, crunchy texture, and golden brown appearance, achieved by the double-baking process, these authentic biscuits became one of the most beloved desserts all over Italy. During the Renaissance, Cantuccini were enjoyed by explorers like Christopher Columbus, who apparently took these portable treats with him on his travels.
