Place
Toscana's cantucci (biscotti) tradition runs on simple ingredients and precise technique. The dry climate and the twice-baking method built a structure that holds any mix-in well. Cranberry came into the range as the recipe expanded, but the foundation is unchanged.

Process
Cranberries are folded into the dough before shaping. The log is baked once, cut into individual pieces, then returned to the oven for the second bake. The cranberries soften in the first pass and hold their shape in the second, needing no additives to keep.

People
The family we work with in Toscana has been baking cantucci for three generations. The cranberry variant is part of a range they developed around the original twice-baked structure. Same bakery, same process, different mix-in.

Questions

  • Can I dunk these?
    Yes. Dip into espresso, hot chocolate, or sweet wine. Hold for 2-3 seconds; eat before it softens past the bite. That is the traditional Tuscan way.
  • How long do they keep once opened?
    2-3 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid the fridge. It introduces moisture and off-flavors. A metal tin holds them better than the resealable bag.
  • How long does the sealed bag keep?
    Check the best-by date on the bag. Typically 6-9 months from production. Once opened, 2-3 weeks is the practical limit.
  • Do these contain nuts?
    No nuts. Contains wheat, eggs, butter, and dried cranberries.
  • What is the difference between biscotti and cantucci?
    Cantucci is the Tuscan name for twice-baked cookies. The rest of Italy calls them biscotti, which just means twice cooked. Same thing, same region.
  • Are these very hard?
    Biscotti are intentionally firm. A 2-3 second dip softens the outside without losing structure. Eaten dry they are firm, not aggressive.

    From our New York warehouse via Amazon fulfillment. In-stock orders ship within 1-2 business days. Free shipping over $75.
