Join us as we explore the rich history, delightful flavors, and irresistible charm of these traditional Italian almond biscuits.
A Glimpse into the History of Cantucci:
Cantucci, also known as biscotti di Prato, originated in the medieval Tuscan city of Prato, just a stone's throw away from Florence. The name "Cantucci" is derived from the Italian word "cantuccio," which means "corner" or "corner of bread," referencing the distinctive shape of these delightful biscuits. Traditionally enjoyed as a dessert alongside Vin Santo, a sweet Tuscan dessert wine, Cantucci has been cherished by generations of Italians for its crunchy texture and nutty sweetness.

Crafting the Perfect Cantucci:
At Luca Cini, we uphold the time-honored tradition of crafting Cantucci using only the finest ingredients and authentic techniques. Our homemade Cantucci are made with love and attention to detail, starting with a simple dough of flour, sugar, eggs, and almonds. The dough is then shaped into long logs, baked until golden brown, and sliced into elegant, bite-sized biscuits. The second baking gives Cantucci their characteristic crispness, making them the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee or a glass of Vin Santo.
