Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno

These distinctive Lazzaroni tins contain authentic Amaretti di Saronno® cookies.

According to legend these crisp airy Italian cookies were created in 1718 when the Cardinal of Milan visited the town of Saronno. To honour him, two young lovers baked a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels and egg whites to create the unusual bittersweet flavor and packed them in pairs to symbolize their love.

To this day D. Lazzaroni & C. produces the authentic Amaretti di Saronno cookies, baked slowly and carefully, according to the original, secret recipe which has been preserved by Lazzaroni since 1718. The delicate and delicious flavor of Amaretti di Saronno cookies are the perfect complement to coffee or tea . at any time of day. They can also be enjoyed on their own, with a glass of fine wine or with a liqueur at the end of a meal. Try them as a delicious topping for ice cream or other desserts -- the pleasure that they add will make any occasion special.
