Chiostro di Saronno Cantuccini biscotti are crisp almond cookies guaranteed to take you to Italy with the first bite. These crunchy treats are packed with fresh almonds and baked twice for the most classic Cantuccini texture and flavor.
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!
