Gluten Free Biscotti Guide 2026 | The Biscotti Company

If you avoid gluten, or you are shopping for someone who does, finding biscotti that taste like the real thing can feel impossible. Most gluten-free cookies crumble, taste chalky, or fall apart in coffee. This guide covers what to look for on a label, how gluten-free biscotti are made, what goes into ours, and where to buy gluten-free biscotti that stay crisp in your cup.

What goes into our gluten-free biscotti

A reader asked us to show what is inside, so here is the honest answer. Our gluten-free biscotti are built on one core recipe, then finished with flavor mix-ins. The core recipe is gluten-free flour blend (which contains milk powder), almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, shortening, eggs, sugar, vanilla bean, and almond extract. Depending on the flavor, we fold in whole roasted almonds, chocolate chunks, dried cranberries, or pistachios.

Are biscotti gluten free?

Traditional Italian biscotti are not gluten free. They are usually made with wheat flour, sugar, eggs, and nuts, then baked twice for that firm, crunchy texture. Wheat flour is a source of gluten, so classic biscotti are not the right choice for people who need or prefer to avoid it.

Gluten-free biscotti replace wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend, nut based flours, or a mix of both. When the swap is done well, you still get the same crisp snap and rich flavor. When it is done poorly, you end up with cookies that are sandy, soft, or dry in a bad way. If you are unsure about a biscotto, assume it has gluten until you see clear gluten-free wording and a clean ingredient list.

What makes a good gluten-free biscotti

Good gluten-free biscotti should taste like real biscotti first and gluten-free second. You should notice the roasted nuts, the chocolate, and the light sweetness long before you think about the flour blend. When you pick up a bag, flip it over and read the label.

Dairy, celiac, and vegan: the honest details

Before I founded The Biscotti Company, I worked as a life coach. My assistant at the time had celiac disease, and her biggest complaint was feeling forgotten at events. There would be treats for everyone else, and she would end up with a plain salad or nothing at all. That stayed with me. When I opened the bakery, I did not want gluten-free biscotti to feel like a consolation prize. I wanted them to taste like something you would be proud to put on the table.

Being honest is part of that. Our gluten-free biscotti contain dairy, because our gluten-free flour blend includes milk powder, so none of them are dairy-free. They contain eggs, so they are not vegan. And because our bakery is a shared facility, they are not recommended for anyone with celiac disease. We say all of this clearly so you can make the right choice for your household before you order.

How our gluten-free biscotti are made

We start with recipes designed to support the crunch you expect from real biscotti. We mix each gluten-free recipe in small batches, then fold in the nuts, chocolate, or dried fruit for that flavor. We shape the dough, bake until set, cool, then cut the loaves into clean, even biscotti and bake them again until they are crisp from edge to edge. We taste from every batch. If a tray does not meet our standard for crunch, we adjust. That is the benefit of baking in a small, hands-on bakery instead of a factory line.

How to store gluten-free biscotti

• Keep biscotti in their original bag until you are ready to open them.
• Once open, store them in an airtight tin or container to protect the crunch.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
• We do not recommend freezing our biscotti. The texture can suffer once they thaw.

Unopened bags have a six month best before date from the day we bake and seal them. You will find this date printed on the bottom of every bag. Once you open a bag, the biscotti are at their peak for about a week, although many customers tell us they still taste great beyond that when stored well.
