❓ FAQ — Tuscan Sweets & Pastries
What are Cantucci and how are they traditionally eaten? Cantucci are Tuscan almond biscuits made crunchy through double baking. Traditionally they are dipped in Vin Santo — the Tuscan dessert wine — making one of the most iconic pairings in Italian food culture. They are perfect as a dessert, snack or gourmet gift.
What does IGP mean on Tuscan sweets? IGP — Protected Geographical Indication — certifies that the product is made in its territory of origin following an official specification that protects the traditional recipe and raw materials. The Cantucci, Panforte and Ricciarelli in this collection are all IGP-certified.
How long do Tuscan sweets last? Cantucci and Panforte have a shelf life of several months from production. Ricciarelli and Cavallucci are generally best within 4–8 weeks. The best-before date is always printed on the packaging.
Are they suitable as a gift? Yes — all products are available in an exclusive gift box. For corporate orders or bulk purchases please contact us directly.
Do you deliver to the UK, Germany and Switzerland? Yes, we deliver across the EU and to Switzerland. Shipping costs are based on the weight of the order — see the table above.
What pairs well with Tuscan sweets? The classic pairing is Vin Santo del Chianti — especially for cantucci, meant for dipping. For cheese boards, aged Pecorino Toscano pairs beautifully with almond-based sweets such as ricciarelli and amaretti.
