Chiostro di Saronno lemon Cantuccini are crisp twice-baked cookies that bring a pleasant lemon flavor twist to classic Italian almond biscotti. These crunchy cookies are filled with lemon paste, providing an aromatic sour taste perfect for those who love experiencing a burst of zesty flavors in their snacks.
Cantuccini, also known as biscotti, are dry Italian biscuits traditionally made with almonds. They 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!
