The most common form of Biscotti is an Italian twice-baked almond cookie, which means that they are baked as a slab first, and once they're sliced, it's baked again. It was initially crafted as a durable food item for soldiers or travellers, and it eventually evolved into a multitude of flavours to ultimately take the form of the snack we all love. The crumbly texture, the sweet kick, and a delightful crunch make it a sought-after snack.
Four Thirty's Biscotti
So primarily, biscotti isn't gluten-free or vegan, with some recipes using two or more eggs for preparation. But does this mean vegetarians, vegans, and people following a dedicated diet scheme can't enjoy a biscotti? Absolutely not. Our biscotti is made with the core principles of being hand-made, vegan, and gluten-free with no added sugar or preservatives. With that in mind, we've crafted our biscotti that's perfect for your cravings while staying true to whatever diet you're currently following.
With the core ingredients of coconut oil, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, flaxseed powder, pink salt and rolled oats, our biscotti comes in four variants- cranberry, blueberry, coconut and jowar. But the best part is, we don't compromise on the classic taste of biscotti- with a delectable cruncy-crumbly texture, a natural and fruity sweetness, and bursting with flavour.
The fun part, though, is experimenting with our diverse flavours by combining them with other items to create a dynamic snack.
