Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Double-Baked Perfection: True to the Latin origin of the name (bis-cotto, meaning “twice-baked”), these biscotti are first baked as a loaf and then sliced and toasted again. This traditional Salento method ensures their “distinctive crunch” and long-lasting freshness.

Flavour Profile: With a high 16% almond content, these biscuits lean on the natural oils of the nuts for flavour. The addition of natural lemon and vanilla flavourings provides a bright, aromatic lift that prevents the toasted notes from becoming too heavy.

The “Cantucci” Style: Follow the most beloved Italian tradition by dipping these biscotti into a glass of Vin Santo or another sweet dessert wine. The firm texture is designed to soak up the wine, softening the biscuit while releasing the “warm, toasted flavour” of the almonds.

The Morning Ritual: These are a “perfect dipping” companion for a Cappuccino or a Caffè Latte. Unlike softer biscuits, they won’t crumble into your cup, allowing you to enjoy the softened texture without the mess.

Afternoon Tea: Serve alongside a citrus-based tea, such as Lady Grey, to complement the natural lemon flavouring in the dough.

A Crunchy Dessert Garnish: Serve two or three biscotti on the side of a Lemon Posset or a bowl of Affogato. They provide the necessary “snap” to balance out creamy, soft-textured desserts.
