Matilde Vicenzi soft Amaretto cookies are ideally-textured Morbido (meaning “soft”) biscuits that are nothing like the typical crunchy amaretti cookies, also known as Amaretti di Saronno. Mainly made with finely ground almonds, egg whites, and sugar, each of these individually wrapped Vicenzi Morbido amaretti cookies is characterized by a chewy exterior and marzipan-like soft interior.

Amaretti cookies are one of the most classic Italian treats that were supposedly invented during the late Renaissance period, in the middle of the 17th century in Venice. 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, sweet, and nutty flavor, these authentic Italian delights and a wide variety of other Italian classics such as Baci di Dama, ladyfingers, Cantuccini, 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 soon became popular throughout the region. With over 115 years of experience, the Vicenzi brand still follows the philosophy of simplicity and quality while using fresh eggs and high-quality Italian wheat. Many Italian artisanal brands like Vicenzi and other Italy’s beloved products can be found in our online Italian grocery store!
