Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

The Artisanal Heritage

A Wine-Infused Legacy: These cookies represent a true “taste of place,” utilising a generous 20% Primitivo Salento IGP wine in the dough. In the Salento tradition, wine is often used in baking to provide a unique, short texture and a “gentle fruitiness” that you simply cannot achieve with dairy alone.

Complex Profile: The pairing of dark chocolate with the deep, dark berry notes of Primitivo wine creates a “rich, elegant flavour.” Because they are made with olive oil rather than butter, the cookies have a clean finish that allows the sophisticated wine and cocoa notes to take centre stage.

Serving Suggestions

The Ultimate Wine Pairing: Naturally, these are “ideal for refined after-dinner moments.” Serve them alongside a glass of the very wine used in the recipe—a Primitivo di Manduria or a sweet Recioto. The chocolate and the wine in the biscuit will harmonise beautifully with the tannins in the glass.

After-Dinner Coffee: The “deep, complex notes” of these cookies make them a fantastic partner for a Double Espresso. The bitterness of the coffee draws out the fruity undertones of the Primitivo wine.

Cheese Board Wildcard: For a truly gourmet experience, place these on a cheese board featuring a pungent Blue Stilton or a mature Gorgonzola Piccante. The combination of dark chocolate, red wine, and blue cheese is a classic “sommelier’s secret.”

A Grown-Up Gift: Their unique ingredient list makes them a brilliant conversation starter for dinner parties. Serve them as a light, sophisticated alternative to a heavy chocolate torte.
