Certified by control body authorized by the Mipaaf Cantuccini were probably born in the Renaissance sumptuous Courts. The cooks of the House of Medici kept for centuries the secret of that recipe, which reportedly was passed on to them by Isabella of Este’s pastry chefs, since she was often visiting Tuscany during her journeys to Rome. The first documented recipe of these almond cookies, written by the scholar Amadio Baldanzi, dates back to the 18th century and is still kept in the State Archive in Prato, Tuscany. In the 19th century the recipe was resumed by a renowned pastry chef and has remained the same since then, becoming the original recipe of Cantuccini. The product owes its traditional nature to the processing system that has remained unchanged over time, to the originality of taste and to the particularity of the shape and dough. In Tuscany Cantuccini are traditionally eaten dunked in Vinsanto, a semi-sweet Tuscan wine.
