Casa Rinaldi Cantuccini Biscuits with Almonds

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

A classic after-dinner biscotti, the Casa Rinaldi Cantuccini Biscuits with Almonds is an oblong-shaped snack that keeps for a long time. This iconic Italian biscuit is twice-baked, making it very crunchy and dry, but completely scrumptious.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Though already flavorful and wonderful eaten on its own, the Casa Rinaldi Cantuccini Biscuits with Almonds are even more incredible dipped in a variety of things. This is the perfect after-dinner biscotti, so dip it in Vin Santo, or any other sweet dessert wine after a full meal. We suggest our Quevedo Tawny Port. You can also have it for breakfast or merienda, dipped in your cappuccino, coffee, or milk. You can even have it with your ice cream!

THE DRY DETAILS

Cantuccini are Italian almond biscuits originating from Prato, Tuscany in Italy. It is also called “biscotti,” which means “twice-cooked,” because that is how it is made. Being baked twice means the cantuccini became very dry, making them easy to store for long periods, and easily brought along on long journeys.
