The biscuits of Prato, also known as “cantucci” or “cantuccini” are one of the glories of our city. These are biscuits made with flour, sugar, eggs, almonds and pine nuts. The cantucci are produced daily by our master bakers who jealously guard the ancient recipe. Another specialty of the city of Prato are the ‘brutti buoni’ (literally ‘ugly but good’), biscuits made with a delicate almond paste and cooked at a low temperature to ensure the fragrance. Crispy on the outside and soft inside, the brutti buoni are usually served as a dessert with a glass of Tuscan Vin Santo.
Our specialty are the cantucci variants with chocolate, figs, plum and apricot that unlike the classic almond, are deliciously softer.
