Crosta & Mollica, the renowned bakery brand, is delighted to introduce four new authentic Italian Biscotti as part of its expanding range of bakery products. The selection features Crunchy Amaretti, Soft Amaretti, Chocolate & Hazelnut Baci, and Almond Cantucci, which are currently available for purchase at Tesco starting from an affordable price of £2.95.
Dean Lavender, the head of marketing at Crosta & Mollica, acknowledges the thriving coffee culture in the UK, even though the nation predominantly consists of tea drinkers. Consumers nowadays have become more discerning about their coffee enjoyment moments. Lavender explains, “Be it first thing in the morning, as an afternoon treat, or even the classic Italian post-dinner espresso – authenticity is a significant aspect that consumers consider.” With the introduction of Crosta & Mollica’s Cantucci, Baci, and Amaretti biscuits, every British household can now experience the essence of Italy in the comfort of their own homes.
Continuing the brand’s commitment to traditional recipes and quality, the Italian Biscotti range is exclusively made in Italy, just like all other Crosta & Mollica products. The brand’s name itself, which translates to ‘crust & crumb’, reflects its 13-year journey in the bakery sector. Crosta & Mollica takes pride in expanding its range of traditional Italian baked products, and the latest additions enhance their offerings. Let’s take a closer look at the new biscuits:
1. Crunchy Amaretti 140g: These biscuits, which serve as the base for various traditional Italian recipes, are made by bakers in the Ligurian town of Sassello. The twice-baked preparation method ensures a delightful sugary crunch. The biscuit’s signature bitter (“amaro”) taste is what earns it the name ‘Amaretti’. The retail price for the 140g pack starts at £2.95.
2. Soft Amaretti 140g: These petits fours, a timeless Italian delicacy, are also produced by bakers in Sassello. The unique bittersweet flavor and marzipan-like center are achieved through a combination of ground apricot kernels and almonds. The Soft Amaretti biscuits are available starting from £2.95 for a 140g pack.
3. Chocolate & Hazelnut Baci 140g: Known as ‘lady’s kisses’, these indulgent treats consist of two hazelnut biscuits that come together with a luscious chocolate filling. Staying true to tradition, Crosta & Mollica selects locally grown Piemonte hazelnuts for their Baci creation. The 140g packs are priced from £3.15.
4. Almond Cantucci 170g: Baked to perfection, these Almond Cantucci biscuits are irresistibly crisp and generously adorned with almonds. Crafted by a family-owned bakery located outside Firenze, these cookies have earned widespread popularity and are undoubtedly the most beloved Italian cookie. The Almond Cantucci is available for purchase starting from £2.95.
In summary, Crosta & Mollica’s new range of Italian Biscotti showcases the epitome of Italian baking. Made with dedication and following time-honored regional recipes, these biscuits are a delightful addition to any coffee moment or indulgent treat. As they say, “Taste Italy at home” with the unparalleled quality and authenticity of Crosta & Mollica products.
