Authentic Italian Recipe:
Crafted according to a traditional Italian recipe,Amaretti di Saronno cookies capture the essence of Italian confectionery craftsmanship. Whether shared with loved ones during festive gatherings or savored as a personal indulgence, our Italian cookies from Italy embodies the cherished tradition of Italian baking.
According to legend, the Cardinal of Milan made a surprise visit to the town of Saronno, near Milan in Italy, and two young lovers prepared the cookies in his honor. With only short notice of his visit they had few ingredients to work with. So they baked these into small round macarons which had a slight bittersweet taste that they called "Amaretti" (a little bitter in Italian) and wrapped them in elegant, colorful paper. Legend also has it that if you make a wish, roll the paper and light it, your wish will come true if it rises to the ceiling (at your own risk!)
Handcrafted Quality:
Nearly 300 years later, these same authentic amaretti cookies are produced today by descendants of the original family. The Lazzaroni family still lives in the same home in the center of Saronno in what was once a monastery and is now known as the cloisters. In Italian this is called chiostro, and is the brand name of the company. Within the cloisters is an archive museum that guards the packaging and artifacts of the family history.
Crafted with care and attention to detail, each classic cookie is meticulously prepared to ensure the perfect balance of texture and flavor. Presented in a charming window box, these gluten free tea biscuits make for a delightful gift or a special treat for yourself.
