Almond Cantucci

Marabissi Almond Cantucci Biscuits 200g are traditional Tuscan biscuits made to an authentic Italian recipe using carefully selected ingredients and classic baking methods. Crisp, golden and packed with almonds, these iconic Italian biscuits are twice-baked to create their signature crunchy texture, making them perfect for dipping into coffee, cappuccino or sweet dessert wine.

Known throughout Italy as cantucci or cantuccini, these almond biscuits have a rich buttery flavour balanced by toasted almond notes and a satisfying snap. Their firm texture makes them ideal for serving alongside espresso, after-dinner drinks or Italian desserts, while also pairing beautifully with gelato and mascarpone-based puddings.

Produced in Tuscany using traditional methods, Marabissi cantucci capture the style of biscuits commonly found in Italian cafés and bakeries. Whether enjoyed as part of an afternoon coffee break or served after dinner with Vin Santo, they bring a classic Italian bakery feel to the table.

Why are cantucci biscuits baked twice?

Cantucci are baked twice to remove moisture and create their signature crisp texture. This traditional method also helps the biscuits hold their shape when dipped into coffee or dessert wine.

What is Vin Santo and why is it served with cantucci?

Vin Santo is a sweet Tuscan dessert wine traditionally served with cantucci biscuits. The crunchy biscuits are lightly dipped into the wine before eating, softening the texture slightly while enhancing the almond flavour.

Why do Tuscan almond biscuits have such a firm texture?

Traditional Tuscan cantucci are intentionally baked to be crisp rather than soft. Their firm texture was originally designed for long shelf life and for pairing with drinks such as coffee and sweet wine, where dipping softens the biscuit slightly before eating.
