Sapori SienaCantuccini alla Mandorla | 800gr

These little biscotti biscuits are great for dipping. They're somewhat pricey but the crunch, taste and enjoyment I have when dipping them in my morning coffee is well worth it. I will say the bag is extra large so depending on how many friends you share them with they last awhile. I've never had a problem with freshness. I usually keep them in a covered tub.

I bought a bag of these Sapori Siena Cantuccini alla Mandorla | 800gr.I have been buying the Sapori Panforte Margerita (the hard, flat spice & fruit cakes), for many years and this is my favorite brand for them.Lately, I can no longer find decent Biscotti in my local markets, so I decided to try these Sapori Siena Cantuccini alla Mandorla instead.I am so happy that I did!These are a smaller, ladies thumb-sized version of the larger, typical sized and shaped Biscotti sold in the USA.These Cantuccini are actually so much better tasting, at least in my opinion.They are hard, crunchy, full of almonds and just delicious, either on their own, or with coffee.I usually have a few with my morning coffee and I eat them crunchy or I dip them in the coffee.I have a few more with another coffee mid-morning, if I need some extra energy.With these smaller sized ones, I can have a few, instead of just 1 like with the typical Biscotti.These are now my favorite Cantuccini (small biscotti), so I have them on order monthly on my Subscribe and save account now.These make me happy!

For Americans more familiar with biscotti, cantuccini are similar but more crispy rather than hard, they get very soft when dipped in coffee. Sapori is a mass market Italian brand, not gourmet but more mainstream. These are a bit on the sweet side, but not excessively so. There are lots of almonds, which is good, but they tend to be a bit stale. There is also a strong scent of artificial almond or almond extract. Overall, they are delightful and an excellent treat with coffee.

The cookies are sooo good. I am addicted to them.

These are not crunchy enough and definitely lack the flavor profile of the best cantuccini. They are ok, I’m not throwing them out. But they lack the texture and flavor of even the better supermarket brands available in Europe. There’s a vague artificial edge to the flavor as well.

I needed a replacement for my favorite imported biscotti from Costco. Unfortunately, the pandemic caused them to stop carrying it. (They still carry it in Europe, though.) I tried every brand; even some Italian brands did not meet up! But this is the best one, nothing artificial and no additives, just what one needs to make biscotti and lots of almonds! Tasty and not too sweet. Highly recommend.

I bought these on a whim one day. I visited my nearest Publix and bought the same type of biscotti from there bakery section. They were good but a little too hard for our taste. So I went searching on Amazon App and found these. The reviews were mostly great and I was surprised by this considering the low price and the amount you get. After first receiving them I tried them with my evening coffee and was delightfully pleased with the crunch and flavour. They are delicious! No regrets.

This is everything I look for in a biscotti and more. First, they are very crunchy. They don't break when you dip them in your espresso or coffee, allowing you to enjoy a taste of both without having to fish out broken biscotti pieces from your hot beverage. Large almond pieces and a clean taste complete this biscotti. Plus they're always taste fresh. Enjoy!
