Review of Amaretti di Saronno Cookies (Window Box) By Lazzaroni

These are a wonderful little treat that go great with coffee or tea. I brought these to work with me to share with some co-workers and doled them out as if they were gold! A pair of cookies are wrapped in tissue so they look a lot more special than just a couple of cookies. My co-workers were very impressed with them! This package has just enough for a small group of friends to share.

Product Description

According to the Amaretti di Saronno legend, almost three centuries ago, the Cardinal of Milan unexpectedly visited the town of Saronno in Italy. To honor him, two young lovers, Giuseppe and Osolina, quickly baked up a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels and egg whites, creating crisp, airy cookies with an unusual bittersweet flavor which they wrapped in pairs to symbolize their love.

The Cardinal was delighted and blessed the young couple, who married and lived happily ever after. Since 1718 this ancient and secret recipe has been preserved by the Lazzaroni family. Unwrap a legend and begin your own happy ending.

Enjoy these delicious cookies with coffee, fine wine and after dinner liqueurs.

Each box contains 15 pairs (each cookie is paired with another and then wrapped in colorful paper) of Amaretti di Saronno cookies (7.5 oz. net wt.).
