Ricciarelli

The triumph of almond paste in a lozenge shaped like a grain of rice. A very simple recipe, made of just a few ingredients which however require a lot of care from an expert hand. This is how the quintessential Tuscan Christmas biscuits are born. Siena is the capital of ricciarello, which owes its name to the knight Ricciardetto Della Gherardesca . Having returned to Volterra from the East, he in fact associated these biscuits with the shoes with the curled toe typical of Middle Eastern footwear.
