Description

These soft amaretti biscuits are flavoured with candied lemon which gives them a subtle citrus tang.

Enjoy a couple with your mid-morning coffee or serve them after dinner with sweet wine and liqueurs. Presented in a vintage-inspired tin, these fruity almond biscuits are a wonderful gift for friends and family.

Dating back to the 1700s, amaretti biscuits were first invented in Saronno, a city north of Milan in the region of Lombardy. Made with almonds, sugar, apricot kernels and eggs, they are famous for their intense almond flavour and aroma. There are two main types: amaretti morbidi, which are soft and chewy, and amaretti croccanti, which are crisp and crunchy.
