Amaretti Classici by Amaretti Virginia are traditional soft amaretti that follow a long-established recipe originating from Sassello. They are made from a simple combination of sugar, egg whites, almonds, and apricot kernels, which creates a balanced profile between sweetness and a subtle natural bitterness.
The texture is defined by a thin, slightly crisp outer layer that gives way to a soft, moist interior with a structure similar to marzipan. Each biscuit is typically round with a lightly cracked surface and individually wrapped, preserving freshness and reinforcing its recognizable presentation.
The flavor is primarily driven by almond notes, supported by the aromatic depth of apricot kernels. Compared to crisp amaretti styles, this version is denser and softer, representing the classic “Sassello type”.
They are commonly enjoyed with coffee or dessert wines, but also serve as an ingredient in desserts. Overall, the product emphasizes simplicity, consistency, and continuity with a traditional formulation that has remained largely unchanged.
