Amaretti Del Chiostro Di Saronno Authentic Italian Gluten-Free Tea Biscuits

Experience the Timeless Taste of Authentic Italian Amaretti Cookies

These classic Italian confections, Amaretti di Saronno, capture the essence of traditional Italian baking craftsmanship. Whether shared with loved ones during festive gatherings or savored as a personal indulgence, our Italian cookies embody the cherished tradition of Italian baking.

According to legend, the cookies were created centuries ago when the Cardinal of Milan made a surprise visit to the town of Saronno, near Milan. Two young lovers hastily prepared the cookies in his honor, using only the few ingredients they had on hand. They baked small, round macarons with a delicate bittersweet flavor, which they called "Amaretti" (Italian for "little bitters"). The cookies were then wrapped in elegant, colorful paper. Legend also suggests that if you make a wish, roll the paper, light it, and watch the paper rise to the ceiling, your wish will come true (at your own risk!).

Nearly 300 years later, these same authentic amaretti cookies are still produced by the descendants of the original family. The Lazzaroni family continues to craft these delectable treats in the same historic cloisters of Saronno, where the family has resided since the cookies' inception. Within the cloisters, an archive museum preserves the family's rich heritage and the artifacts of their legacy.

Crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, each classic cookie is prepared to ensure the perfect balance of texture and flavor. Presented in a charming window box, these gluten-free tea biscuits make for a delightful gift or a special treat. Our Italian amaretto cookies are excellent as an after-dinner indulgence or for adding zest and texture to dessert recipes.
