BISCOTTI DI PRATO
Prato Biscuits
The original and real cantucci are large, dry cookies made with flour, water, salt, olive oil, sugar and
flavoured with aniseed. They’re cooked in loaves then sliced and toasted.
The misinterpretation between the two types of cookies is recent and probably due to the loss of interest in the original cantucci after the Second World War when the richer and more robust biscotto di Prato made with eggs, almonds and hazelnuts became popular.
