Almond pastries and scorzette: our almond sweets

Among our Sweet treats there are two in which the almond is the star: almond pastries and chocolate scorzette. They have little in common, in both dough and character, and that is exactly why they are worth getting to know. Here they are, one at a time.

Almond pastries

Almond pastries are made from a dough of type 00 wheat flour, sugar and almonds, with a pinch of salt and raising agent. Their aroma comes from cinnamon and lemon, two flavours you will find in many of our sweets.

• Ingredients: type 00 wheat flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon, almonds, raising agent.
• Pack: 300 g, 12 pieces.
• Shelf life: 3 months.

You can find them here: Almond pastries.

Chocolate scorzette

Scorzette take a different path. There are only four ingredients: egg white, sugar, toasted almonds and dark chocolate. Here the almond is toasted and meets the chocolate.

• Ingredients: egg white, sugar, toasted almonds, dark chocolate.
• Pack: 200 g, 15 pieces.
• Shelf life: 2 months.

You can find them here: Chocolate scorzette.

Also with pistachio

If you love pistachio, scorzette are also available in a version with pistachio chocolate, still with toasted almonds. All the details are on the product page: Pistachio chocolate scorzette.

Pastries or scorzette?

It depends on what you are looking for. If you like the aromas of cinnamon and lemon and a spiced sweet, choose the almond pastries. If for you almonds and chocolate are a perfect couple, go for the scorzette, dark or pistachio.

And if you don't want to give up either, you can serve them together on the same plate: the different colours and the two characters keep each other company.

How to serve them

A few ideas: with coffee after lunch, with tea in the afternoon, or on a tray of sweets when guests arrive. A pack of scorzette or almond pastries is also a small gift to bring when you are invited to dinner. If you buy them in advance, remember that scorzette have a shorter shelf life, of 2 months.

Almonds in our cantucci too

Toasted almonds are also in our cantucci, which you can find plain, Almond cantucci, or with a dark chocolate, white chocolate, pistachio or orange-flavoured coating. We told you about them in the article Biscuits, cantucci and wine taralli.

If there are allergies or intolerances, always check the full list of ingredients and allergens on each product's page.
