'Nicastro' gift box

Medium-sized Hatbox with an assortment of Biscottificio Mattei Biscuits and Panettone

• Description

  The “Nicastro” Hatbox offers the complete assortment of biscuits from the Antonio Mattei Biscottificio: the Biscotto di Prato (also known as “Cantuccio” or “Cantuccino” with almonds) and its later variations with Dark chocolate, with pistachios and almonds, with hazelnuts, along with the traditional Panettone that Pasticceria Filippi bakes exclusively for Antonio Mattei.
  It contains one 500 g bag of Biscotti di Prato, one 500 g bag of Biscotti with Dark chocolate, one 500 g bag of Biscotti with pistachios and almonds, one 250 g bag of Biscotti with hazelnuts, and a 1000 g traditional Panettone by Filippi for Antonio Mattei.
  
  Biscotti di Prato are prepared with five simple ingredients: flour, sugar, free-range eggs, almonds, and pine nuts. They contain no preservatives, no animal fats, and no vegetable oils.
  The Dark chocolate and pistachio & almond versions are made with the same dough as the Biscotti di Prato (flour, sugar, free-range eggs), and instead of almonds and pine nuts, they are enriched with fine 60 % dark chocolate chips, or a blend of pistachios and almonds, or hazelnuts.
  
  The classic Panettone is a proud expression of Italian baking tradition. Naturally refreshed sourdough, premium flours, butter, eggs, and sugar are carefully worked to create its soft, rich dough. Selected candied orange peel and the sweetest sultanas complete this delicious Panettone, soft and delicately aromatic.
  For this special hatbox, we have chosen the finest: the Filippi Panettone, crafted exclusively for Antonio Mattei.

• History

  Since 1858 Prato Biscuits have been baked daily and hand-packed one by one, in the classic Blu Mattei bag.
  
  The Dark Chocolate Biscuits came out of our oven for the first time in 2013, they are also hand-packed one by one, originally in a red bag but since 2019 in the Blu Mattei bag with a Red label.
  
  In 2017 the Mattei family added the new Pistachios and Almonds flavour.
  
  In 2019, a new and even more indulgent biscuit was born! It’s the version with prized Hazelnuts — a trilobed hazelnut, carefully selected for its specific size and roast, then blended into the traditional dough of our Biscotti.
  
  The story of Filippi began in 1972, in Zanè, Vicenza. Mum Maria and Dad Giuliano started to write the first chapter of this story with the production of their first naturally leavened baked desserts, focusing on authenticity and tradition. Today, with their children Andrea and Lorenzo, the story continues with the same dedication and the same spirit.
