This stunning red and green holiday tin is filled with authentic Antonio Mattei Biscotti di Prato with Almonds. Talented Florentine illustrators Simone Massoni and Ilaria Falorsi designed this special edition biscotti gift tin to celebrate the city of Prato. The tin contains 500gr of Biscotti di Prato and is approximately 6.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall.
The classic Biscotti di Prato are perfectly firm, light and crunchy twice-baked cookies packed with pieces of almond. Made from the original guarded recipe fomr 1858, and named after the town from which the Pandolfini family run this historic Biscottificio. Biscotti Mattei are considered throughout Tuscany and Italy as the standard-bearer of all biscotti—the size, texture, taste and aroma of which Italians consider the real thing, and the one every Tuscan family stocks in their pantry.
Traditionally served at the end of the meal with a glass of sweet Tuscan Vin Santo. Serve alongside panna cotta, gelato, or as part of an afternoon tea.
Produced by: Biscottificio Antonio Mattei in Tuscany, Italy
