Amaretti Chiostro di Sarrono Crunchy Cookies - Gluten-Free Snacks - Italian Cookie Tin

Crafted according to a traditional Italian recipe, Amaretti di Saronno cookies capture the essence of Italian confectionery craftsmanship. Whether shared with loved ones during festive gatherings or savored as a personal indulgence, our Italian cookies from Italy embody the cherished tradition of Italian baking. According to legend, the Cardinal of Milan made a surprise visit to the town of Saronno, near Milan in Italy, and two young lovers prepared the cookies in his honor. With only short notice of his visit, they had few ingredients to work with, so they baked these into small round macarons which had a slight bittersweet taste that they called "Amaretti" (a little bitter in Italian) and wrapped them in elegant, colorful paper.

Nearly 300 years later, these same authentic amaretti cookies are produced today by descendants of the original family. The Lazzaroni family still lives in the same home in the center of Saronno in what was once a monastery and is now known as the cloisters. Within the cloisters is an archive museum that guards the packaging and artifacts of the family history. Crafted with care and attention to detail, each classic cookie is meticulously prepared to ensure the perfect balance of texture and flavor.

Experience the timeless taste of authentic Italian Amaretti cookies from Italy, crafted with a centuries-old recipe that traces back to two young lovers in Saronno, Italy, who created these delectable cookies for a surprise visit by the Cardinal of Milan. Made with only the finest ingredients, including sugar and "armeline" extracted from egg whites, these gluten-free dessert and tea biscuits boast a unique bittersweet flavor and a delicate texture that's truly unparalleled.
