Chocolate Ricciarelli from Siena are the oldest and most irresistible sweet of Tuscany — a dough of finely ground almonds, 54% dark chocolate and egg white, naturally gluten-free by original recipe. Masoni has been producing them in Siena since 1883, following the medieval confectionery tradition with no added flour and no compromise on ingredients. The result is a biscuit that is soft inside and lightly crisp on the surface, with a depth of dark chocolate flavour that rivals the finest patisserie.
🍫 What makes these Ricciarelli different
Industrial ricciarelli often contain starch, modified flours and artificial flavourings. Masoni's Chocolate Ricciarelli start from first-choice almonds and 54% dark chocolate — no flour of any kind, gluten-free by original recipe (not by reformulation), with Tuscan honey as a secondary sweetener. Each piece is dusted with defatted cocoa powder — bitter, aromatic, exactly as the Sienese tradition has demanded for over 140 years.

🍽️ How to enjoy Chocolate Ricciarelli
Serve at room temperature to release the full almond and chocolate aroma — remove from the box at least 15 minutes before serving. The classic Sienese pairing is with Vin Santo Toscano DOC — the oxidative sweetness of the wine amplifies the depth of the dark chocolate in a combination Siena has known since the Middle Ages. Also excellent with espresso, as a dessert replacement, or as an elegant gift in the distinctive vintage Masoni orange box.
