Traditional Milanese Meneghini biscuits in Milano

Meneghini biscuits are simple dry butter biscuits tied to Milan’s home and pastry-making traditions. Made with essential ingredients – flour, butter, sugar, and eggs – they have a crumbly yet compact texture designed for long storage. Their shape is usually regular, often round or slightly oval, and the golden color comes from the generous use of butter. The flavor is delicate and only lightly spiced, typical of Lombard pastry-making, where the quality of ingredients matters more than decoration. They are often presented in tin boxes or elegant bags, easy to carry as a gastronomic souvenir of the city.
