Place
Toscana has been baking cantucci (biscotti) for centuries. The twice-baked dough is built to hold a nut: almond was first, pistachio followed. The egg-rich dough, shaped into a log and cut after the first bake, exposes whatever nut is inside on the cut face; the second bake toasts it.

Process
Whole pistachios are folded into the dough before shaping. The log is baked once, then cut to expose the green interior of each pistachio, then baked a second time. The second pass lightly toasts the nut and locks the dough around it, keeping each pistachio whole and visible.

People
We work with a family in Toscana that has been baking cantucci for three generations. They applied the same twice-baking technique to whole pistachios, keeping the nut intact through both passes. One bakery in Toscana, one process.

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?
    Yes. Pistachios make up 18% of the dough. Also contains wheat, eggs, and butter. Not suitable for nut or gluten allergies.
  • 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.
  • How is this shipped?
    From our New York warehouse via Amazon fulfillment. In-stock orders ship within 1-2 business days. Free shipping over $75.
  • What if it arrives damaged or I don't love it?
    Write to us. We refund within 60 days, no questions asked.

Pistachio wins

Bought these because my usual almond biscotti were unavailable and now I have a new problem. The pistachio flavor is actually noticeable, not just a few green crumbs for decoration. Theyre crisp enough for dunking but I also ate two straight from the package while unloading groceries. One had a corner broken off and my partner called dibs on the damaged goods lol. Coffee, tea, late night snack... worked with all three. The package did not last 48 hours in this house

Pistachio is the winner

I put out three kinds of biscotti after dinner and these vanished first. They are crunchy but not jaw-breaking, and the pistachio taste is noticeable instead of just a green label. my husband said 'save me one' after he had already eaten two. Too late. Will reorder for the holidays!!

Gone in one afternoon

Pistachio is easy to overdo but these hit it just right. Crisp, nutty, not cloying. Opened the bag for company and had litterally zero left by dinner

Pistachio wins

OK these were the surprise favorite in our order. The pistachio flavor is clear but doesnt overwhelm the cookie, and the crunch held up perfectly in a cappuccino. I planned to save half for guests and that plan lasted maybe six hours lol. A little pricey for an everyday snack, still ordering again for the holidays

Pistachio and coffee

These lasted exactly one breakfast. crisp, nutty, not crazy sweet... honestly wish the bag was bigger

A gift that surprises people

people dont expect biscotti to be that good. when you give these as a gift the reaction is genuine surprise. thats the thing. theyre expecting grocery store biscotti and getting something completely different

Works in the lunchbox AND with wine

bought these for my morning coffee routine. ended up also putting them in my kids lunchbox and serving them after dinner with a little dessert wine. three occasions, one biscotti. good value.

Still my favorite

Still my favorite thing I've found on this site. Reordering for the fourth time. Nothing has changed and that's exactly what I want.

Underwhelming

expected more from the price. Pistachio flavor is there but its subtle to the point of almost not being there. Texture is fine. Just not for me.

Subscription-worthy

I should just subscribe at this point. Third reorder in six months. The pistachio flavor, the tin, the crunch. Consistent every time.

Perfect crunch

the crunch level on these is EXACTLY right. not so hard you need to dunk them just to eat them, not soft enough to be a regular cookie. proper biscotti texture

Not bad

not bad. bit pricey for what you get but the flavor is real at least. Probably wouldnt reorder at full price.

Converted a non-biscotti person

My roommate said she didn't like biscotti. I made her try one. She ate four. That's the whole story.

Simple pleasure

Nothing fancy to say. Good biscotti, real pistachio, nice with coffee. Bought three tins. Will buy more.

My go-to office gift

When I need to bring something to share at work I bring these. Every time someone asks where they came from. Every time.

Can't stop ordering

These are a problem. A good problem. A delicious, expensive problem that arrives in a very nice tin.

My favorite in the lineup

Tried the orange and the ginger lemon versions too. The pistachio is still my favorite by a clear margin. The crunch level is perfect for dunking, the flavor isn't sweet or artificial.

Sturdy tin travels well

Ordered and shipped directly to a friend in another city. Tin arrived intact, nothing broken. She loved them. Will use this as a go-to gift for people who appreciate this kind of thing.

Tin was damaged

Tin arrived dented and the lid wouldnt close properly. biscotti were fine but I was sending this as a gift and had to scramble. Not ideal.

Pistachio done right

I dont love pistachio-flavored things usually bc it's always that fake pistachio flavor that tastes like almond extract dyed green. This is actual pistachio, actual texture, actual flavor. Different experience entirely.

Fine

Fine. Good with coffee. Expected more pistachio flavor. Got acceptable pistachio flavor. Not complaining.

WOW these are good

WOW these are good!! my husband ate half the tin before I got to them and I was furious and also could not blame him

Morning ritual locked in

My Italian neighbor approved

My neighbor grew up in Toscana and she is not easy to impress with Italian food. I brought her a tin. She finished it in two days and asked where to buy more. I'll take it.

A bit too hard

Too hard for me even with dunking. I know thats kind of the point of biscotti but these were harder than others Ive had. Flavor is ok. Not reordering.

Holiday staple

Every year I put together a small food package for a few people I care about. These go in every single one now. The tin packaging makes it feel like a real gift rather than a grocery run.

Pretty good

pretty good. i like the orange better but these are a close second. no complaints.

Six Italian regions. Nothing reformulated. Imported direct.
