Ricciarelli di Siena IGP from Masoni Pietro are traditional Tuscan almond biscuits produced in accordance with the standards of the protected geographical indication, which defines both their origin and method of preparation. The product is based on a mixture of finely ground almonds and sugar combined with egg white, sometimes enriched with a small amount of honey to create a soft almond paste.

The dough is shaped into the characteristic oval or lozenge form, then lightly baked and finished with a coating of powdered sugar that contributes to its distinctive appearance. The texture is soft, dense, and slightly chewy, with a delicate outer layer and a moist interior that highlights the natural richness of almonds.

The flavor profile is centered on almond intensity, balanced by moderate sweetness and subtle aromatic notes. Rather than relying on complex ingredients, the product emphasizes ingredient quality and controlled processing in line with traditional Sienese methods.

Within the Masoni Pietro range, Ricciarelli represent a core product that reflects the company’s focus on regional identity and continuity of established Tuscan confectionery traditions.
