Cantucci di Prato Macho
The version with chocolate and orange: the citrus peel holds the chocolate and the almonds together and takes off the sweetness that would otherwise tire. Same hard dough as always, same slanted cut.

A family biscuit house. The cantucci are made the way they have always been made: baked twice, cut on the slant, firm enough to stand up to a glass of sweet wine.

Gran Pistacchio cantucci
Green pistachio and dark chocolate share the bite without covering each other. This is the one that wins over people who claim not to like dry biscuits.

Traditional cantucci di Prato
Whole almonds and nothing there to hide them. Two bakes, the slanted cut, and that firmness which is the whole point: a cantuccio is for dipping, not for crumbling.

Montecatini wafers
Thin discs of almond and vanilla, golden, with the Liberty pattern pressed into the wafer. They are the speciality of Montecatini Terme: eaten whole, in two bites, and they crumble exactly as they should.
