The Amaretti Virginia Amaretti Bag is full of soft almond cookies from Liguria, baked according to the original recipe since 1860. These melt-in-the-mouth morsels are each created with a few carefully selected ingredients such as apricot kernels, sugar, egg white, and honey, making the product naturally gluten free. Delicious on their own, they can also be served alongside liqueurs, ice cream, and best of all, with coffee. The pretty bag with its retro design makes it a perfect Christmas gift.
Amaretti Virginia was founded back in 1860 in beautiful Sassello, not far from Genoa. It first became famous for its fragrant Amaretti with their soft almond texture, with the bakery so well-known that it became a meeting place for locals and visitors alike and the square that it overlooked was referred to in postcards of the time as ‘Piazza degli Amaretti Virginia.’ The company swept award after award at international expos from 1892 onward, and attempts at imitation became so numerous that Amaretti Virginia’s founder had the brand placed under the legal protection of the Kingdom of Italy in 1897. The Amaretti Virginia Amaretti Bag shows that the company has lost none of its traditional expertise.
