Almond Biscotti

Almond biscotti are the starting point. Not a trend. Not a seasonal flavor. This is the classic Italian cookie that set the standard for what biscotti should be. Clean roasted almond, a crisp snap, and that familiar aroma the second you open the bag.

I grew up baking almond biscotti with my grandmother on holidays. The smell of toasted almonds and fresh biscotti in the oven still brings me right back. That is why this flavor will always matter to me.

This is the flavor my grandmother baked in our kitchen, and it is the foundation The Biscotti Company was built on.

If you are new to biscotti and want the quick breakdown of what they are (and why they are baked twice), start here: Biscotti Cookies.

The Classic Almond Biscotti

Almond Biscotti should taste warm, nutty, and balanced. You get roasted almond first, then softer notes that feel like amaretto and vanilla. Some people even pick up a light apricot vibe from the almond. The finish is clean, with a small sprinkle of sea salt that sharpens the flavor.

This biscotti is great on its own. Dunked in black coffee, it turns into something else. The almond opens up, the crunch softens just a bit, and it becomes the kind of snack you keep reaching for.

Per serving: 140 cal, 10 g sugar, 3 g protein. It is a simple, satisfying bite that does not feel heavy.

How This Flavor Started Everything

Almond biscotti were always the base recipe in my family. Simple ingredients. Real technique. No shortcuts. After my grandmother passed, I made small changes to bring out more flavor while keeping it crisp and crunchy, like my memories of biting into one fresh from the oven.

When we made our first sales back in 2020, the first two biscotti we ever sold were Almond and Chocolate Almond. Almond was first because it had to be.

I still reach for this one the most. It is the biscotti that proves you do not need a lot of extras when the base is right.

The Customer Who Swore Our Almond Biscotti Were Imported From Italy

I met a customer one morning at the Southampton Farmers Market. She had been buying our Almond Biscotti from a retailer but did not know who made them. When she realized I was the owner, she froze and said:

Her mother, born and raised in Italy, tried one and immediately complained that she had been “fed cardboard all these years.”
Moments like that remind me why this flavor matters so much.

What Makes Almond Biscotti Special

What Is the Difference Between Biscotti and Cookies?

The biggest difference is texture. Biscotti are meant to be crisp and crunchy. Most cookies are soft or chewy. Biscotti are baked twice, which creates that clean snap and makes them perfect for dunking.

That second bake also helps biscotti last longer than most cookies. They are built for coffee, tea, or dessert wine, not just a quick bite and done.

How Are Almond Biscotti Made?

Almond biscotti start as a simple dough made with basic baking ingredients and toasted almonds. The dough is shaped into a loaf and baked. Then it is sliced into individual cookies and baked again. That double-bake is what gives biscotti their signature crunch.
