Biscotti & Italian Cookies

Rate #1 in The New York Times biscotti tasting

Offered in our plastic resealable economy packs.

From the ancient city of Prato in Tuscany comes this recipe. These are the biscotti that have defined the term for most Americans, and with which most are familiar. Our Biscotti di Prato are true to the Tuscan original in size and, significantly, made without butter or shortening of any kind.  This omission of added fat is a hallmark of these biscotti. They begin as long (two-feet long by three-inch wide) almond-studded loaves and are then sliced and baked again. Emerging from the oven, after this second baking, as crisp finger-cookies embedded with almonds. They are simply one of the most sophisticated biscotti of all, celebrated for their extremely crisp texture and elegant clean taste.

Traditionally they are paired with the Tuscan dessert wine,Vin Santo, but may be equally enjoyed with any sweet wine and all hot beverages, especially espresso.

These biscotti trace their origins to Naples and the tradition of "Pane di Spagna" or “Spanish bread”.  A more tender/less-crisp biscotti, made with pure butter along with an inclusion of almonds and glacé cherries. These biscotti have a similarity to Mandelbrot and are nearly a double-baked butter cookie.

Made in a two-step process, first a custard base is cooked on the stove before being blended with the fresh shredded coconut. For those who dream of the perfect coconut macaroon, dream no more! Our coconut macaroons were a SOFI Award Nominee for Best Cookie.

Essential to the baker's repertoire is a butter cookie and it is also something of a test of one’s baking skill. Our butter-walnut pasticcini are a Di Camillo original recipe.  Nearly a shortbread cookie in taste, but a crisper snap awaits your first bite. 

The Di Camillo Family fell in love with butter—something of a scarcity in our native Abruzzi, Italy-- nearly a century ago, shortly after our arrival in North America, and this love has only increased with each generation. Our Pasticcini di Burro does our love-of-butter proud. A perfect tea cookie.

Often referred to as “Biscotti Regina” this classic of the Sicilian baker reveals the Moorish influences that abound in the baking traditions of this island. The use of sesame seeds is often traced to the Sacarcens who ruled Sicily for hundreds of years. We have added butter in place of lard and slightly scented the dough with whole anise seed. Long strings of dough are hand-rolled, then rolled-again in a sesame-seed-and-syrup coating, and finally cut into “fingers”.  They are wonderful with liquors and sweet wines as well as all hot beverages.

This is a collection of what we feel are our four essential Italian cookies and biscotti for any celebration.

Our hand-made, fig filled "cucidati" are a constant on almost every Italian-American cookie platter.  Our filling is complex and delicious with nuts and orange peel enveloped in a tender cookie shell.

Pizzelles were always the star of our family platters as they were a traditional cookie for our grandparents who all hailed from the Abruzzi region in Italy. We have added whole anise seed to this pressed waffle butter cookie.

Biscotti Amaretti is the most famous Italian cookie of all. Made without flour or any added fat this almond macaroon is light, crunchy and intensely almond.

Chocolate Dipped Biscotti Di Prato we feel are something of an invention our family has created. We have taken our award-winning classic almond biscotti floated and decorated them with premium French dark chocolate. They are deliciously balanced between the lean almond biscotti and the rich complex chocolate that decorate each one.
