Cookies with Cocoa and Hazelnut by Borgo Del Biscotto are among Italy’s most iconic cookies. Packed with delicious hazelnuts, each bite of these cocoa cookies is crunchy, rich, and sweet.
The Italian culture of making sweets is believed to have roots in the Roman Empire. Allegedly, “sweet treats” were used in religious ceremonies and celebrations. Back then, these sweets were made with regular bread recipes but sweetened with either fruit or honey. With time, as sugar became more affordable to everyone, Italy blessed the world with amazing inventions such as Tiramisu, Rum Cake, Panettone, etc. Typically, authentic Italian desserts use little sugar and opt for natural sweeteners, making them more light and decadent. Enjoying dessert after dinner only during special occasions, Italians are more often found enjoying a piece or two of a nut biscuit with an espresso.
