This pretty red and green holiday tin is filled with authentic Antonio Mattei Biscotti di Prato with Almonds. Talented Florentine illustrators Simone Massoni and Ilaria Falorsi designed this special edition biscotti gift tin to celebrate the city of Prato.
The classic Biscotti di Prato are perfectly firm, light, and crunchy twice-baked cookies packed with pieces of almond. Made from the original guarded recipe and named after the town from which the Pandolfini family run this historic Biscottificio, these classic biscotti are considered throughout Tuscany and Italy as the standard-bearer of all biscotti.
This is the biscotti that every Tuscan family stocks in their pantry.
Traditionally served at the end of the meal with a glass of sweet Tuscan Vin Santo. Serve alongside panna cotta, gelato, or as part of an afternoon tea.
