Matilde Vicenzi Amaretto d’Italia macaroon cookies are traditional Italian amaretti biscuits made with a classic recipe consisting of special apricot kernel flour, egg whites, and sugar. This recipe creates a bite-size dessert characterized by crunchy texture and bittersweet flavor unique to amaretti.

Amaretti cookies are one of the most beloved Italian treats that were supposedly invented in the middle ages. Named after the Italian “amaro,” meaning bitter in reference to the bitter almonds or apricot kernels they contain, amaretti cookies vary from soft to crispy. Soft amaretti, also known as Amaretti morbidi and crisp Amaretti di Saronno cookies, are naturally gluten-free biscuits that mainly consist of almond or apricot kernel flour, egg whites, and sugar. With their signature bitter and nutty flavor, these authentic Italian delights and a wide variety of other Italian classics such as Cantuccini, Baci di Dama, ladyfingers, and more can be found in our wide selection of Italian cookies!

Matilde Vicenzi is an artisanal family-owned bakery brand that started off as a small pastry shop, also known as pasticcerie, in 1905 in San Giovanni Lupatoto, Verona, Italy. The founder of Matilde Vicenzi, Matilde Vicenzi herself always loved creating pastries at home, and with the support from friends and family, she began her own pastry shop, which quickly became popular throughout the region. With over 115 years of experience, the Vicenzi brand still follows the philosophy of simplicity and quality by using fresh eggs and high-quality Italian wheat. Many Italian artisanal brands and Italy’s favorite products can be found in our online Italian grocery store!
