Sesame Seed Cookies (Biscotti Regina)

Product Info

Biscotti Regina are a delicious Sicilian cookie are crowned with toasted sesame seeds with a delicious citrus flavor accomplished by the use of an extract from Sicily "fiore di sicilia".

The word Regina denotes the queen; The Queen in question is Margherita di Savoia, the second and much beloved queen of a united Italy. Pizza Margherita was also named in her honor. Queen Margherita loved sweets and would often go personally to visit pastry shops with her ladies in waiting. She was known to spontaneously ennoble the owner of the pastry shop where she really liked the cookies, elevating him to the rank of cavaliere (Knight)!

This listing is for a full pound of Regina Biscott to be enjoyed with your morning coffee or a snack anytime of the day.
