Masoni Ricciarelli di Siena IGP (Tuscan almond biscuits) 180g
A curious story tells of a nun of the Servants of Mary who, in the Middle Ages, over toasted the Sienese marzipan by mistake. The result was the ricciarelli, toasted and curled by the high temperature, but delicate and tasty. They are prepared by chopping the almonds with sugar, then adding egg white and honey. After shaping them, they are sprinkled with icing sugar and baked in the oven.
Since 2010, almond Ricciarelli have become the first confectionery product in Italy to boast the prestigious European PGI certification, thus becoming Ricciarelli di Siena IGP.
