Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno - 1lb. Tin

|
Amaretti di Saronno cookies go perfect with coffee, fine wine and after dinner liqeurs. According to 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. Try them crumbled over almost any dessert and you can get really adventurous by making a tiramisu cake with the cookies. Presented in the recognizable and distinct red tin.

I am a caterer and cooking instructor and find Amaretti di Soronno cookies to be absolutely incomparable to other similar products on the market. I've used them in a multitude of recipes ranging from crumbling them on top of fresh berries or peaches with sweetened mascarpone for dessert to using them as part of a filling in butternut squash ravioli. They're delicately crisp, deliciously flavorful, and they provide an endless possibility of uses! If you've never tried them, don't miss your chance!
