The classic after-dinner biscotti, these Cantuccinis from Tuscany are well known for their elongated oval shape and utter crispiness. They are best dipped in Vin Santo or other sweet dessert wines, and, of course, in coffee, cappuccino, or milk. Try these crisp traditional cookies with ice cream too. Made by Corsini, the most respected pastry company in Tuscany since 1921. Varieties sold separately.

Picture displayed does not indicate the flavor you will get. I was wanting the biscotti with almonds (shown) but received orange biscotti. The orage biscotti was delicious but not what I really wanted.

The orange fruit was an oxidized brown, the edges were ragged and tattered, and they looked like had has been left in the oven at too high a temperature -- overall very unattractive. I've gotten better biscotti [...].

The orange biscotti are unusual. The bits of rind are a lovely contrast the the crunchinss. They aren't too sweet, either. Also love the almond. Haven't tried the chocolate because I don't eat chocolate.
