Is Biscotti Gluten-Free? What You Need to Know Today

The most common form of biscotti is an Italian twice-baked almond cookie, which means they are baked as a slab first and, once sliced, baked again. Initially crafted as a durable food item for soldiers and travellers, biscotti eventually evolved into multiple flavours and became the snack we all love today. The crumbly texture, subtle sweetness, and delightful crunch make it a sought-after treat.

Four Thirty's Biscotti

Traditionally, biscotti isn’t gluten-free or vegan, with many recipes using eggs. But that doesn’t mean vegetarians, vegans, or people following specific dietary preferences have to miss out.

Four Thirty’s biscotti is hand-made, vegan, and gluten-free, with no added sugar or preservatives. It’s designed to satisfy your cravings while staying aligned with clean and mindful eating.

Made using coconut oil, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, flaxseed powder, pink salt, and rolled oats, the biscotti comes in four variants—cranberry, blueberry, coconut, and jowar. Despite the clean ingredients, the classic biscotti experience remains intact with a crunchy-crumbly texture and naturally fruity sweetness.

The real fun lies in experimenting with these flavours by pairing them with other ingredients to create exciting snack combinations.
