Cocoa and White Chocolate Cantuccini, Leonardo

Our artisan cocoa and white chocolate cantuccini are a true chocolate masterpiece for all choco lovers, a celebration of indulgence for the palate.

A rich, velvety cocoa dough is filled with generous chunks of white chocolate, creating an harmonious blend of contrasting textures and flavors. The balance between the deep, intense cocoa and the delicate sweetness of the white chocolate elevates this creation into something truly extraordinary. Each bite is a symphony of richness and smoothness, crafted to delight and satisfy the most discerning palate.

Warning, they can become addictive

It all began in the early 1960s, in the heart of Tuscany, when a man named Leonardo Santi began creating traditional Tuscan and Florentine biscuits and other specialties in his "forno" (bakery). Using only the finest ingredients, he sold his creations in the adjoining "bottega" (artisan shop). Word quickly spread, and people from all over the region started lining up at his door.

Leonardo was never satisfied, constantly working to improve his recipes. Legend has it that one day, by accident - rumored to involve one of his sons -he stumbled upon a unique recipe. This discovery set his creations apart from all other "fornos" and cantucci, giving birth to the secret recipes that made Leonardo’s cantucci in Florence truly unique: soft and fragrant at the same time.

The rest is history. Today, Leonardo’s legacy lives on through his son, Marco, who not only preserves his father’s cherished recipes but also continues to innovate, crafting new specialties with the same dedication to quality. Using only the finest ingredients and producing each product lovingly by hand, Marco carries forward the tradition of excellence.

This is Leonardo.
