Halfway between Pistoia and Prato<\/a>, not far from the hills of Montalbano, we find a bakery that was established in 1966, from which a truly inviting aroma comes forth.<\/p>\n

We are welcomed by the Lunardi brothers<\/a>, Massimiliano and Riccardo, who have taken over the family heritage and put absolute product quality<\/strong> at the heart of their project.<\/p>\n

Cantuccini<\/strong> are a classic of the Tuscan confectionery tradition. In all likelihood they are the best known Italian biscuits in the world, having also become famous for the ‘ritual’ of accompanying them with a good glass of vinsanto<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Official documents show that Pisa is the city that conceived them in the Middle Ages. While Prato<\/strong> is the city that made them famous and linked them to its own tradition, so much so that it is often referred to as ‘biscotti di Prato’.<\/p>\n

In reality, the latter are distinguished by the cut, which is made diagonally, as well as a difference in ingredients. Prato biscuits, in fact, do not contain yeast and flavourings, just as Prato bakers did in ancient times. Instead, cantucci<\/strong>, thanks to these ingredients, are decidedly softer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Fratelli Lunardi<\/strong> can proudly boast the PGI mark<\/strong> for ‘cantucci toscani’, which protects the quality<\/strong> and traditional production<\/strong> method<\/strong> by means of precise regulations. The neat packaging and lively graphics invite you to eat them in quantity. A timeless classic, which in the Fratelli Lunardi version is even better!<\/p>\n
