Prato Biscuits with homemade Vin Santo icing 7 oz

• Description

  The Prato Biscuits - commonly known as cantucci or cantuccini with almonds - are baked every day by our Biscuit Factory since 1958 and are part of the Tuscan confectionery tradition that sees them as a perfect end meal in combination with the Vinsanto.
  
  Prepared with only 5 simple ingredients: flour, sugar, free-range eggs, almonds and pine nuts, they do not contain preservatives, animal fats or vegetable fats.
  Each biscuit is glazed, left to rest until the glaze is very cold, and then packaged manually.
  
  Recommended pairings:
  - for end meal in addition to the classic Vin Santo, perfect also with soft grappa
  - for a small snack, with coffee or cappuccino
  
  Once opened, store in a cool and dry place in the same tightly closed package.

• History

  Since 1858 our biscuits have been baked daily in the same rooms of the historic biscuit factory and packed one by one by hand in the classic Blu Mattei bag.
  
  In 2015, on the occasion of Pope Bergoglio's visit to Prato, Paolo Sacchetti, multiple award-winning pastry chef and owner of the Prato pastry shop 'Il Nuovo Mondo' developed the recipe for the Prato Biscuit soaked in Vinsanto glaze for the Prato pastry chef academy; all the pastry chefs of the academy, in honor of the visit to the city of the Holy Father, prepared this biscuit called precisely 'del Papa'.
  
  Since then it has remained in our production because it is highly appreciated and requested by our customers.
  This special Biscotto di Prato is coated with a Vin Santo icing specially made by our pastry chefs, with the prized Vin Santo Santa Cristina by Antinori.
