About Cantuccini

Cantuccini, also known as Italian almond biscuits, are a traditional treat originating from Tuscany. Made with simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, almonds, and often a hint of vanilla or citrus zest, these twice-baked cookies are known for their crunchy texture. Typically enjoyed alongside a sweet wine like Vin Santo, they are a staple in Italian cuisine and represent centuries of culinary tradition. While Cantuccini are low in moisture and have a long shelf life, their nutritional profile reveals both indulgence and moderation. Rich in protein and healthy fats from almonds, they provide energy and essential nutrients. However, their sugar content and calorie density make them a dessert best enjoyed in small portions. A delicious blend of flavor and history, Cantuccini embody the charm of Italy while reminding us to savor sweets responsibly.
