Biscotti
At the Gift Gourmet we have a wide range of food gift sets containing the finest Italian Biscotti. Biscotti are traditional Italian biscuits that are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. The Gift Gourmet gift sets contain the delicious hand made Biscotti from the famous Corsini Biscotti factory situated in the Tuscan hills. All packs of Biscotti in the Gift Gourmet sets are 250g.
The Italians use the term biscotti to refer to any type of cookie. In the UK, biscotti is used to describe a long, dry, hard twice-baked cookie with a curved top and flat bottom designed for dunking into wine or coffee. The name biscotti is derived from 'bis' meaning twice in Italian and 'cotto' meaning baked or cooked. Biscotti is said to have originated during Columbus's time and credited to an Italian baker who originally served them with Tuscan wines - it is traditional to dunk Cantuccini Biscotti in to Vin santo wine. Biscotti became so popular that every Italian province developed their own flavoured version. Because of their long storage ability, Biscotti were an ideal food for sailors, soldiers, and fisherman.
