Our amaretti are soft cookies made through an artisanal process using ingredients of the highest quality. First and foremost are the almonds—both sweet and bitter—sourced from Italy, primarily from Puglia. They are soft, flavorful, and rich in essential oils that give the cookies their distinctive aroma. The characteristic bitter aftertaste, on the other hand, comes from a small amount of bitter almonds, expertly balanced. Each individual amaretto is shaped by hand, then gently baked until golden brown, dusted with powdered sugar—which helps keep the inside soft—cooled, and packaged in sealed food-grade trays, which are then placed in decorated cardboard boxes. The ingredients for each variety of our amaretti are carefully and thoughtfully selected to create a unique product every time.
