Food, Italy

Some say Cantucci.

Posted by italy...and me on

IMG_0927 If you have been to Tuscany you have had cantucci! Also known as biscotti, a word that originates from the medieval Latin word biscoctus, meaning “twice-cooked/baked.”  Often served with Vin Santo after a meal.  Go ahead and dunk it, it’s delicious.

    That other confection looks like a little Tart. I’m curious about the Vin Santo since I never heard of it. Is it a sweet dessert wine?
