BISCUITS WITH ALMOND FLOUR AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Company: For over 70 years, Forno Ravacciano has been producing high-quality bread, sweets, and baked goods with passion and respect for tradition.
Work: Every day, the Brogi and Panichi families, alongside their team, focus on crafting authentic Sienese pastries, carefully selecting ingredients and prioritizing fair trade and Made in Italy products to ensure excellence in every bite.
Product: Ricciarelli di Siena are traditional Tuscan sweets made with almonds, sugar, egg whites, and flavorings. They have a soft, fragrant interior and a thin, sugary crust on the outside. Typically diamond-shaped and dusted with powdered sugar, these biscuits are especially popular during the Christmas holidays. Known for their delicate flavor and intense almond aroma, Ricciarelli are a beloved symbol of Siena’s pastry tradition.
Details: Siena’s Ricciarelli, in this version enriched with dark chocolate chips, pair perfectly with a glass of Vin Santo, a sweet Tuscan wine. The contrast between the wine’s sweetness and the cookie’s soft texture, along with the indulgent touch of chocolate, brings out the flavors of both. They are also commonly enjoyed with coffee or tea, making them a timeless holiday classic.
History: Their history dates back to the medieval period, when Sienese pastry chefs made them for special occasions. Legend has it that almond paste was introduced to Siena by a cook from the East, who created a new type of pastry. Made primarily with almonds, sugar, egg whites, and flavorings, these soft-centered, sugar-coated cookies have become an icon of Siena’s rich pastry tradition.
