About Biscotto

Biscotto, the Italian word for "biscuit," refers to twice-baked cookies that are crisp, crunchy, and perfect for dipping in coffee or tea. Originating from Italy, biscotti are traditionally made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and almonds, though variations may include chocolate, dried fruits, or spices. Their texture is achieved through a unique baking process where the dough is baked once, sliced, and baked again. Biscotti are low in moisture, giving them a long shelf life, and are typically lower in fat compared to cookies made with butter. While their sweetness provides an energy boost, they still contain sugar and carbohydrates, which should be enjoyed in moderation. The addition of nuts like almonds contributes healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Biscotti can complement a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-rich accompaniments like fresh fruit or yogurt.
