Chiostro Mini Amaretti by Lazzaroni: A Timeless Italian Confection

A Culinary Jewel from Saronno: Chiostro di Saronno's Mini Amaretti cookies are not merely sweets; they are a cherished part of Italian cultural heritage. Originating from Saronno, a city north of Milan in Lombardy, these cookies embody centuries of tradition. Made from a humble yet perfect combination of sugar, egg whites, and almond-scented apricot kernels, amaretti is a symbol of Italian creativity and resourcefulness. The cookies' history dates back to the Middle Ages, reflecting a tale of a young couple's ingenuity to honor a visiting cardinal.

Vintage Tin Packaging: A Nod to History and Elegance: Lazzaroni, the creators of these amaretti, have been perfecting their craft since 1719. The cookies are not only renowned for their delightful taste but also their iconic tin packaging. These tins, inspired by vintage designs and decorated with scenes from Italian life and landscapes, are a testament to the brand's rich history and are collectible keepsakes.
