Our Cherry Almond Biscotti are made using a dual combination of flours to create a smooth and almost cakey crumb to the double baked traditional biscotti. The dough is folded in with sliced almonds and plump dried cherries. Each biscotti is drizzled or dipped in a vanilla bean white chocolate, for an added layer of decadence to the fruity and fresh flavors of cherry and hint of citrus zest.
