• History

  The Biscotti di Prato - also commonly known as 'cantucci' or 'cantuccini' with almond - are part of the Tuscan confectionery tradition that sees them as the perfect end of a meal in combination with vin santo.
  Since 1858, our biscuits have been baked daily and packaged by hand one by one, in the classic Blu Mattei bag.
  
  In 1875 two nuns from Mantua, during a pilgrimage to Rome for the Jubilee, were hosted by Antonio Mattei: to thank him for the hospitality, they gifted him the recipe for this cake which takes its name from their city.
  Antonio Mattei made this recipe his own version, the one still on sale in our stores, and also celebrated by Pellegrino Artusi in his famous 1891 book 'Science in the kitchen with the art of eating well'.
  
  The first vintage of Santa Cristina was produced in 1946 by the Marquis Niccolò Antinori.
  The Antinori family has been dedicated to wine production for more than six hundred years: since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Art of the Vinattieri.
  
  Easter represents always a moment of vital importance for the Barbero company, which produces eggs of all sizes, bells, little bells and eggs to satisfy all needs.
