Cantucci

Cantucci are perhaps the most famous cookies in Italy. Its secret lies in the double baking technique: first the dough is cooked in the form of a loaf and then it is cut into slices that are baked again until they are perfectly dry and crispy. Made with a generous amount of whole roasted almonds and a touch of honey and vanilla, these sweets offer a rustic and authentic flavor. Due to their characteristic firmness, it is traditional to serve them at the end of the meal to be dipped in a sweet wine (such as Vin Santo) or to accompany an espresso coffee, allowing the sponge cake to absorb the aromas of the drink without falling apart.
