Cantuccio is a type of cookie that outside of Italy is called biscotto. In Italian Biscotto means cookie and Cantuccio is just one type of cookie traditional to the region of Tuscany. Cantucci are historically from the Montalcino area, Ossi di Siena and they were prepared especially for the holidays. Nowadays to create something unique, Fabbrica del Panforte adds high quality pistachio twist to the classic Cantucci but still using only simple, fresh and natural ingredients.
La Fabbrica del Panforte was founded in 1994 with the aim to promote the unique confectionery culture of Siena. This small medieval city is known for delicious cuisine that is important to Tuscan’s local culture and history. To maintain authentic flavors, Fabbrica del Panforte uses simple, quality ingredients and recipes inherited from master bakers. These Sienese sweets are considered a hallmark of the nature, culture and lifestyle of the people of Siena: simple, sincere, and original.
Enjoy Cantucci with tea or coffee. Traditionally, in Italy this cookie is dipped in Vin Santo wine or aged grappa.
