Biscottini are twice-baked, finger-shaped biscuits. They are tantalizing bite-sized versions of biscotti, which means cookies in Italian. As legend has it, biscotti originated in the Tuscany region of Italy, in the city of Prato. As its popularity spread thorught the regions of Italy, biscotti became associated with simple food pleasures.
The history of biscotti in the United States can be traced back to Christopher Columbus, who needed a viable food that was resistant to moisture and mold on overseas voyages.
Our biscottini are always fresh from the oven, baked one batch at a time, just for you.
Born and raised in Belgium, I remember how chocolate was and still is ever present on breakfast toast, as a side to a cup of coffee, in the rich hot cocoas, and in the many artisan chocolate shops that line the centuries-old streets. Chocolate is a part of daily life.
