Amaretti Originali by Lazzaroni are traditional Italian biscuits rooted in the long-standing confectionery heritage of Saronno. They are made using a simple formulation based on sugar, egg whites, and apricot kernels, which give them their characteristic balance of sweetness and a subtle, natural bitterness.
The texture is dry and crisp, yet friable, allowing the biscuits to break easily and release an intense almond-like aroma. Each piece is coated with coarse sugar crystals and individually wrapped in the brand’s distinctive twisted paper, a detail that reinforces both freshness and identity.
The production follows a slow baking process that preserves the structure and flavor profile typical of classic amaretti. The “window box” packaging offers a more contemporary presentation while maintaining the traditional internal wrapping.
In terms of use, they are commonly served with coffee, tea, or dessert wines, but also function as an ingredient in pastries and plated desserts. Compared to standard almond cookies, they present a more defined flavor profile due to the use of apricot kernels.
