Crunchy almond flakes and crispy amaretti pieces in the Tartufo al amaretti

In Tartufo con amaretti, the traditional hazelnuts are replaced with almonds and amaretti biscuits. The Piedmontese hazelnuts are used only as a paste in the recipe of this Tartufo specialty.

The finest almond and amaretto flavors characterize the Tartufi con amaretti. The mild milk chocolate and the slightly bitter note of the amaretti and almonds create a beautiful contrast on the tongue. The amaretti pieces add the crunch so appreciated by many Tartufo lovers.

The Legend of the Amaretti

Amaretti di Saronno is the name given to an amaretto macaron with a distinct almond flavor. It is traditionally made in Saronno, a municipality in Lombardy, Italy. Amaretti are one of the most famous traditional amaretto biscuits from Italy.

According to legend, in the early 18th century, the Bishop of Milan surprised the town of Saronno with a visit. A young couple, residents of the town, welcomed him and honored him with an original confection: they spontaneously baked biscuits made of sugar, egg whites, and crushed apricot kernels. Since this pastry was so popular not only with the clergy, amaretti are still produced today, with a slightly adapted recipe.
