Amaretti Virginia Soft Strawberry Amaretti, 140g

These soft amaretti are traditional Italian almond biscuits flavoured with strawberry conserve. Soft and chewy, like a macaroon, they have an addictive bitter almond flavour that is enhanced by the fruity sweetness of strawberries. Each biscuit is individually wrapped - ideal for snacking or to enjoy after dinner with espresso or vin santo.

These beloved Italian biscuits are made by Amaretti Virginia, using a recipe that dates back to the 18th century. Presented in a vintage-inspired tin, they are a great gift for biscuit lovers.

Dating back to the 1700s, amaretti biscuits were first invented in Saronno, a city north of Milan in the region of Lombardy. Made with almonds, sugar, apricot kernels and eggs, they are famous for their intense almond flavour and aroma. There are two main types: amaretti morbidi, which are soft and chewy, and amaretti croccanti, which are crisp and crunchy.
