Description

This is part of our Carluccio's Christmas Range Collection.

A generous collection of traditional Piemontese biscuits

Bringing together four wonderfully different textures and flavours in one beautifully presented selection.

Made in Roero, close to the rolling Langhe hills, by a producer devoted to preserving the baking traditions of Piemonte. The biscuits are crafted with carefully selected ingredients including butter, free-range eggs, local flour, hazelnuts and fine chocolate.

Inside you’ll discover a journey of Piemontese baking traditions:

Baci di Dama
Delicate, crumbly hazelnut biscuits paired together — or “kissed” — with a rich dark chocolate filling.

Bon Bon allo Zabaione
Cocoa and hazelnut shortcrust biscuits sandwiched with a smooth, indulgent Zabaione-flavoured cream.

Crumiri Ricoperti
Buttery, honey-scented shortbread biscuits, delicately dipped in rich dark chocolate.

Damine di Pasta Frolla
Light, crumbly butter shortcrust biscuits sandwiched together with a generous dark chocolate filling.

Our much-loved Baci di Dama are joined here by three other classic recipes, making it a wonderful introduction to the rich biscuit-making traditions of Piemonte, and an especially good box to open when the Christmas coffee appears.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
