Canestrelli Antica Genova from Grondona are traditional Ligurian biscuits made from a simple shortcrust dough based on flour, butter, sugar, egg yolk, lemon, and vanilla, resulting in a clean and well-defined flavor profile. Their texture is delicate and crumbly, with a friable structure that breaks easily and melts in the mouth, which is characteristic of this type of biscuit.

The flavor is balanced, combining a buttery base with light citrus notes and subtle vanilla that add freshness without dominating the overall taste. They are typically shaped in a classic flower form and lightly dusted with powdered sugar, which enhances both their appearance and sweetness.

The recipe relies on a limited number of high-quality ingredients and avoids unnecessary additives, emphasizing clarity and consistency. These biscuits are commonly enjoyed with coffee or tea and are closely linked to the culinary heritage of Genoa and the Liguria region.

Within the brand’s portfolio, they represent a product that preserves traditional technique while maintaining relevance in a contemporary market.
