Biscotti

"Biscotti" comes from the Latin bis-coctus, meaning "twice-cooked." In Italy, they are called Cantucci or Cantuccini or Biscotti di Prato, traditional almond cookies from Prato, Tuscany. They are a hallmark of Tuscan confectionery and one of Italy’s best-known exports. 

The dough is baked as a log, sliced while warm, then baked again for a dry, crunchy texture. Classic Cantucci use flour, sugar, eggs, and whole unroasted almonds. They are very hard, shelf-stable, and recognized by their oblong, diagonal-cut shape.

Because of their hardness, cantucci are traditionally served as a dessert accompaniment, most famously with Vin Santo, a sweet Tuscan dessert wine. Dipping the biscuit softens it and releases the almond aroma and the wine’s honeyed notes.

Here you will find the traditional recipe with almonds, as well as modern variations with pistachios or peanuts, and, for a truly decadent experience, almond or pistachio biscotti dipped in dark chocolate.
