Biscotti di Prato
A delicious, traditional Tuscan treat. Made by hand in the same bakery in the heart of the city of Prato on Via Ricasoli since 1858. For over 100 years, the biscotti have been made with flour, farm fresh eggs (which impart that golden yellow color), sugar, almonds, bitter almonds, and a few pine nuts, and packaged in the iconic blue paper bags and tied with the traditional string. The blue package is a permanent fixture in all Tuscan and Italian specialty food shops and fine restaurants.
Traditionally served at the end of the meal with a glass of sweet Tuscan vin santo. Many of the locals argue whether it is correct or not to dip the biscotto in the wine. Serve along with panna cotta, gelato, or as part of an afternoon tea.
The 250 gr size
After 150 years of making the traditional Tuscan cookie, the Pandolfini family embarked on a new biscotto adventure. They replaced the almonds of the classic biscotti with large chunks of dark chocolate and packed them in their iconic blue bags with a bright red tab—still tied up with string, of course. The bittersweet flavor of the chocolate puts a new twist on tradition.
Perfection served with coffee, Brachetto wine or port after a meal.

Biscotti with Pistachios comes in their iconic blue blag with a bright green tab and is wrapped in string—ready to be transported on a finger, just like the traditional Biscotti di Prato.
