€6–€18Cantucci (almond biscuits) in Florence
Cantucci are dry almond biscuits, cut diagonally and baked twice to achieve their compact, crumbly texture. Their structure is simple: flour, sugar, eggs, whole almonds, and very few other ingredients. The result is a dry, fragrant, lightly toasted biscuit, designed more to accompany than to dominate the palate. In Tuscany they are often served at the end of a meal with Vin Santo, where they are briefly dipped before being eaten.
