Amaretti are made following an ancient recipe dating back to the 1800s, which consists of almonds, egg whites, sugar and apricot kernels, the ingredient that gives them that bitter distinctive taste.
The amaretto, with its round and slightly squashed-shape and a soft and fragrant middle, is prepared by delicately rolling small portions of dough onto a tray, baked in the oven and then wrapped in the traditional bow shaped paper. In addition to the traditional versions, a wide variety of different flavoured amaretti are also produced.
