Item Description
Coffee and tea are not the same without a delicious biscotti. Now you can learn how to make this authentic Italian treat right in your own home!
Danielle Di Vecchio, actress (The Sopranos. Prison Break) and the owner of Biscotti di Vecchio LLC will come to you and show you all of her expert secrets in a 2 hour session making biscotti. Invite 3 of your closest friends and have a "biscotti" party!
Biscotti are traditional Tuscan cookies which are twice-baked (bis "two", cotto "cooked") resulting in their signature crisp, dry texture. The dough is worked by hand and formed into loaves, brushed with egg wash, sprinkled with sugar or almonds and baked. After the biscotti's first "baking", the loaves are removed from the oven, sliced on the bias and returned to the oven for a second baking.
Danielle Di Vecchio first learned how to bake these traditional Italian cookies from her paternal grandmother. She began creating her own variations of this popular and traditional Italian cookie after experimenting with different combinations of spices, dried fruits, nuts and chocolates. Encouraged by family and friends to produce and market these unique cookies, she launched Biscotti di Vecchio.
Biscotti di Vecchio are made with only the finest of natural and imported ingredients: unbleached flour, pure cane sugar, imported unsalted butter, organic eggs, lemon & orange peel, imported chocolate and cocoa, almonds, pistachios, dried cranberries & cherries, pure vanilla extract and baking powder. All are mixed together in various combinations to create Biscotti di Vecchio's unique palatable experience and characteristically crunchy (but not hard) texture. They are enjoyed with espresso or a glass of Vin Santo and equally delicious (and addictive) eaten alone.
