Pistachio Biscotti

Cultural Context

Originating from Italy, biscotti are twice-baked cookies traditionally enjoyed with coffee or tea. The name 'biscotti' means 'twice-baked' in Italian, reflecting their unique texture. Pistachio biscotti, with its nutty flavor and crunchy bite, has become a popular variation, often served during festive occasions or as a delightful treat any time of the year. Today, biscotti are loved globally, with numerous flavor variations, but the classic remains a favorite among coffee lovers.
