Hi, I’m Bruno, founder of The Biscotti Company. In my house growing up we said “biscottis.” It was our family quirk, not an Italian rule. The proper word is biscotti, meaning twice-baked cookies that are crisp and perfect with coffee, tea, or milk. Many people still search for “biscottis,” which is why this page exists. We bake by hand in small batches using my Sicilian family recipe, then finish each cookie with a light sprinkle of sea salt. Customers tell us that tiny burst of salt is their favorite part.
In our bakery, biscotti means love. It means handcrafted Italian cookies made with simple, quality ingredients. We use almond flour for tenderness, fold in whole almonds or Belgian chocolate, and finish with a light touch of sea salt. Enjoy them with coffee, tea, or milk, or eat them straight from the bag. And if you still call them “biscottis,” you’re in the right place.
Classic, crisp, and full of roasted almond flavor.

When most people hear the word “biscottis,” they think of a crunchy Italian cookie you dunk into coffee. That is true, but the story goes deeper. The name comes from the Latin bis coctus, which means twice baked. That double bake gives biscottis their signature snap and the long shelf life that made them popular with Roman soldiers who needed food that could travel.
Over time, biscottis, also known as cantucci, became a staple in Italian culture, especially in Tuscany, where they are often enjoyed with a sweet wine called Vin Santo. Growing up, I did not know the fancy backstory. For me, biscotti was just a cookie my grandmother baked. My grandmother, born and raised in Sicily, taught me how tradition and patience matter when you bake. She believed biscotti was more than a cookie. It was a memory, a moment, something you shared after Sunday dinner when everyone was still at the table, laughing and telling stories.
I remember being a kid and sneaking the broken ends of biscotti while they cooled. Those little bites were my favorite because they were extra crunchy and felt like a reward for waiting around the kitchen. Later, when I started The Biscotti Company, I wanted to bring that same feeling to people who had never even heard the word before. That is why every batch we make still carries her touch of tradition, from the way the loaves are shaped to the final sprinkle of sea salt that surprises people at the very end. Customers tell us all the time that the salt is unexpected, but it makes them crave the next bite.
In America, many people say “biscottis” instead of “biscotti.” At first, I thought about correcting it. Then I realized that language changes when food crosses cultures. The important part is that people are enjoying them, whether they call them biscotti or biscottis. For us, the word does not matter as much as the experience. You dip one into your coffee, you share them at a holiday table, or you give them as a gift, and suddenly you have made a small, memorable moment. That is the heart of Italian food culture. Connection, family, and slowing down just long enough to savor a moment.
Today, biscottis are part of coffee culture everywhere. They are in cafés, gift baskets, and dinner parties across the country. What makes ours special is that we do not cut corners. Every loaf is mixed, baked, cut, and baked again with the same care my grandmother showed me in her kitchen. It is a balance of tradition and innovation. We stay true to her Sicilian roots, and we also play with flavors like Cranberry Pistachio or Double Chocolate to give people a new reason to love an old favorite.
So when you are enjoying one of our biscottis, you are not just having a cookie. You are tasting a little piece of history, mixed with my family’s story, and hopefully creating one of your own. That is why I believe biscottis are more than Italian cookies. Biscotti Cookies are an invitation to pause, to enjoy, and to share.
Tip: Enjoy biscottis with hot coffee, tea, or a small glass of Vin Santo. They also make thoughtful gifts for hosts and teachers.

Yes. People often write biscotti as biscottis in English. The cookie is the same. In Italian, biscotti is already plural.
Enjoy them as is, or dip them in coffee or tea for a few seconds. They keep their crunch yet soften just enough for a perfect bite.
Many of our classic flavors are dairy-free. We also offer select gluten-free options. Note that our gluten-free flour blend contains milk powder, so gluten-free is not dairy-free. Check the product page for each flavor before you order.
