Taormina Cookies 500g - Almond Pastries with Candied Orange Heart

The perfect embrace between Sicilian almonds and the citrusy scent of our oranges.

Imagine strolling through the flower-lined alleys of Taormina, with the scent of the sea blending with the fragrance of orange blossoms. It is from this inspiration that our Taormina Biscuits are born.

These are not just simple almond paste cookies, but a small masterpiece of artisanal pastry. We start with our traditional recipe—only premium almonds, sugar, and egg white—to create a soft and fragrant dough. The secret? A generous heart of candied orange peel strips, which release all the intensity of the Sicilian sun in every bite.

Before entering the oven, each biscuit is delicately rolled in icing sugar, creating that thin crust that encases an incredibly tender and fragrant interior.

Why choose them:

• Citrusy Heart: The candied orange peel strips provide a note of freshness that balances the sweetness of the almond.
• Pure Craftsmanship: Handmade in our workshop, without preservatives or artificial flavors.
• Dual Texture: The crunch of the outer icing sugar meets the characteristic softness of fresh almond paste.
• A Special Gift: Ideal for accompanying afternoon tea or for a wonderful finish to a dinner with a passito wine.

Giuseppe's Guarantee:

"I wanted to call them 'Taormina' because they represent the excellence of our land. Every biscuit is prepared only after your order, to ensure that it reaches your table as if it had just come out of my oven. You have Giuseppe's word."

Tips from Pastry Chef Antonio:

To fully enhance the orange scent, try them with a bitter coffee or a cup of Earl Grey black tea. The citrus note will literally explode on the palate!
