These biscotti are considered the standard-bearers of all biscotti throughout Italy and the one that every Tuscan family stocks in their pantry.

The Pandolfini family of Biscottificio Antonio Mattei has been producing the archetypal Biscotti di Prato since 1858 and has not altered their production methods or relaxed their rigorous standards in all this time. Recognized as the original and ultimate biscotti, their famous blue bags tied up with string are found in the best food shops and restaurants around Italy.
