Bonci Traditional Almond Cantucci are classic Tuscan almond biscotti made with 25% whole almonds and flour from heritage Tuscan grains. Baked by Pasticceria Bonci in Montevarchi, Tuscany, these crisp, golden cookies celebrate one of Italy's most beloved pastry traditions.
What Are Cantucci?
Cantucci are traditional Tuscan almond biscuits known for their crunchy texture and distinctive elongated shape. Outside Italy, they are often called biscotti, the Italian word for cookies or biscuits.
Traditionally associated with Tuscany, cantucci are especially famous for being enjoyed with Vin Santo, the region's sweet dessert wine. Their firm texture makes them perfect for dipping into coffee, tea or dessert wine.
Made with 25% Whole Almonds
Bonci prepares its traditional cantucci with whole almonds, wheat flour, eggs, sugar, butter, milk, honey and natural flavorings, including vanilla, almond and orange.
Whole almonds make up 25% of the recipe, giving the cookies their distinctive nutty flavor and satisfying crunch.
Bonci's updated recipe also incorporates APICE flour, produced through a Tuscan agricultural initiative dedicated to preserving and promoting heritage grain varieties. This connection to local agriculture brings an additional element of Tuscan tradition to a classic Italian biscuit.
A Classic Tuscan Cookie Tradition
Cantucci are traditionally shaped into long loaves, baked and sliced into individual biscuits. The resulting cookies are crisp and pleasantly crumbly, with pieces of whole almonds visible throughout.
Bonci's almond cantucci offer a classic combination of lightly sweet dough and toasted almond flavor, making them an ideal accompaniment to Italian coffee or an after-dinner dessert.
