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, together with 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: In Siena, Ricciarelli are typically paired with a glass of Vin Santo, a sweet Tuscan wine. The contrast between the wine’s sweetness and the tender texture of the cookies creates a perfect balance that enhances the flavor of both. In this cocoa version, the classic almond base is enriched with deep, dark chocolate notes, making them even more indulgent. Also perfect with coffee or tea, especially during the holiday season.
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 brought to Siena by a cook from the East who created a new kind of pastry. Made mainly with almonds, sugar, egg whites, and flavorings, these soft-centered, sugar-coated cookies have become a true icon of Siena’s rich pastry tradition.
