Amaretti Almond Flavour Italian Crunchy Cookies,150g

A beloved Italian delight, Lazzaroni Amaretti cookies were first created in 1718. Since 1718 Amaretti cookies are famous for their unique almond flavor and an unmistakable texture. The story goes that at least three centuries ago the Cardinal of Milan unexpectedly visited the town of Saronno. Two young lovers, to honor him, concocted in a rush a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels, and egg white, cooking it in the oven and obtaining sultry round cookies. These cookies featured at the same time the bittersweet taste of almonds and sugar, hence the two called them Amaretti. Since then almost nothing has changed: the original recipe, the quality of the ingredients, and the slow cooking contribute altogether to deliver the full pleasure of the authentic Amaretti di Saronno, whose uniqueness made them the flagship of Lazzaroni specialties. Lazzaroni’s legendary amaretti cookies, or Amaretti Di Saronno, are crafted from a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels, and egg whites with no additional flavors. The results of Lazzaroni’s traditional process are crisp, airy cookies with a distinct bittersweet flavor. Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno is decorated with grains of sugar, wrapped in the famous tasseled tissue paper and contained in the original red & green window box. There are many ways to enjoy Lazzaroni Amaretti cookies. Some people like to eat them with Italian espresso, a hot mug of tea, or a cold, refreshing glass of milk. Whatever the occasion, these crisp and delicate cookies are light yet satisfying treat thanks to a distinctive almond flavor that balances the sweetness of the sugar.
