Antonio Mattei Almond Biscotti di Prato
The classic biscotti (twice baked (Bis: twice, Cotti: cooked or baked).) from Biscottificio Antonio Mattei are widely regarded in Tuscany and Italy as the benchmark for all biscotti. They are a staple in every Tuscan household pantry. Italians consider their size, texture, and flavor to be the epitome of authentic biscotti, and other producers strive to replicate them. These biscotti are perfectly firm, light, and crunchy, and are generously filled with almond pieces.

A delicious traditional Tuscan treat, biscotti are made by hand in the same bakery in the heart of the city of Prato on Via Ricasoli since 1858. The biscotti have been made with flour, farm-fresh eggs (which impart that golden yellow color), sugar, almonds, bitter almonds, and a few pine nuts. They are packaged in the iconic blue paper bags and tied with the traditional string. The blue package is a permanent fixture in all Tuscan and Italian specialty food shops and fine restaurants for over 100 years.
Serve along with panna cotta, gelato, or as part of an afternoon tea. Dip in fondue or wine!
