Chiostro di Saronno Cantuccini are classic almond cookies made with no yeast and baked twice to achieve a perfectly crisp texture. Brought to you in an art deco style tin depicting Milan’s beauty, each biscotti is filled with almonds, adding extra crunch and flavor to each bite.
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 popular Italian cookie traces its origins 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 and other Italian classics such as amaretti, Baci di Dama, ladyfingers, and more in our wide selection of Italian cookies!
