Now that Christmas is here you can bet Biscotti are everywhere. So needless to say I decided to make the Italian a Cantucci with his favourite nuts.

Walnut, Pistachios and Almonds, of course if you don’t like a certain type of nut you can always replace it with your favourite nut or why not a few chocolate chips!

Where are Biscotti from?

Biscotti are from the region of Tuscany. Cantucci, Cantuccini or Biscotti from Prato are one of the biggest and well known sweets in the Tuscan cuisine.

In the region of Lazio and Umbria they are known as Tozzetti. There are a few differences between the two, one being Cantucci are made with dried almonds and are eaten with a glass of Vin Santo.

Whereas Tozzetti can be made with a number of ingredients including hazelnuts, chocolate chips, pistachios or candied fruit.

    How to store them

    The Biscotti should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place. To keep them crisp, place parchment paper between the layers of cookies, this also helps to keep them separated if you wish to dip them in chocolate. Stored properly, they will last up to two weeks.

    How to freeze Cantucci

    Place the completely cooled biscotti in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze. The will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw on the kitchen counter.

    They can be made as hard as Cantucci or softer which are then eaten with a cup of tea or coffee.

    However you call them or eat them, soft or hard I hope you enjoy these Triple Nut Biscotti. Enjoy!

        Why do some biscotti’s have butter and some don’t. Your triple nut biscotti don’t have butter. Is that a typo?

          Hi Estelle, no not a typo. Actually authentic Italian Cantucci (biscotti) does not have butter in them. I hope you enjoy these. Take care!

        Your recipes are always so good, thanks for sharing! I am not Italian at all, but my cousin in law came here from Italy so I have had some amazing dishes. I have to see if you have a recipe for eggplant lasagna. Anyways, do you suppose it’d be ok to use all walnuts in this recipe? The cost of nuts, like everything now, is through the roof, but black walnuts grow here in MT so that’s what I have. I wouldn’t think it’d change moisture content, would it? Thank you, and again I thank you for sharing so many great recipes!

        I have made a lot of biscotti cookies and this recipe is by far the best. Lots of nuts and crunchy.

        I MADE THESE 3/7/21 EXACTLY AS THE RECIPE CALLS, AND TOASTED THEM 7 MIN ON EACH SIDE. THEY WERE VERY GOOD. NICE AND CRUNCHY. BEING FULL BLOODED ITALIAN, LOVING MUCH FLAVOR TO THAT 1 CUP OF NUTS, PERHAPS I WOULD ADD SOME ORANGE, CITRON, OR SOME CANDIED CHERRY, MAYBE ONE, AND UP THE VANILLA 1 TSP. I LL GIVE IT A NINE.
