Pan Ducale Almond Biscotti Bastoncini, 7.04 oz. (200g)

Pan Ducale Bastoncini biscuits are almond biscotti cookies that will instantly become an irreplaceable part of your pantry. Made by following a traditional family recipe with the finest ingredients, including fresh almonds, Italian honey, raw cane sugar, butter, fresh eggs, and whole wheat flour, these crisp and crunchy biscotti are baked to perfection. 

Biscotti, also known as Cantuccini, are traditional Italian almond biscuits that supposedly originated in the Tuscan city of Prato in the 16th century. Deriving from the Latin word "biscoctus", meaning twice-baked, biscotti are made by forming the dough into an oblong loaf, baking, cooling, and baking again to achieve traditional perfection: crunchy texture, sophisticated taste, and golden brown appearance. During the Renaissance period, Cantuccini were enjoyed by explorers like Christopher Columbus, who apparently 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!

Pan Ducale is one of the most widely appreciated and beloved Italian household names that has taken its pride in blessing Italians with a delicious assortment of superior pastries manufactured with old artisanal methods. The story of this brand began in 1967 when Pasquale D’Amario became the manager of the theater’s coffee bar located in the heart of Atri, a town in the Abruzzo region of Italy. With the help of the founder’s mother and wife, a skilled pastry chef, Pasquale began making Pan Ducale, oven-baked dessert cakes that date back to 1352. With great dedication to quality, authenticity, and innovation, Pan Ducale produces non-GMO products made with only the finest and freshest ingredients, no additives, preservatives, or hydrogenated fats. The brand has expanded to traditional Italian cookies as well as other specialties, most of which and more of other Italian products can be found in our online Italian grocery store!

Almond biscotti Bastoncini by Pan Ducale goes particularly well with an iced chai in summer as well as a steaming cup of caffe latte or espresso. The addition of almonds makes these biscuits perfect for breakfast and particularly good for dunking. In fact, they are designed to be crunchy and dense to be dipped in a cup of coffee. These twice-baked cookies are also traditionally dipped in a glass of sweet dessert wine called Vin Santo after a meal.
