Virginia Fig & Walnut Soft Amaretti, Decorative Tin 220g
Sweet figs, mellow walnuts and a tender amaretti crumb
The rounded sweetness of figs meets the rich, nutty flavour of walnuts in these soft amaretti. Beneath a delicate crust, the tender centre brings fruit and nuts together with the familiar fragrance of almonds and apricot kernels.
Virginia’s story began in 1860 in Sassello, in the Ligurian hills of north-west Italy. Amaretti fichi e noci are a lovely choice for an autumn afternoon: coffee poured, a few biscuits unwrapped and time to enjoy the way the walnut tempers the sweetness of the fruit. They are equally at home at the end of a long lunch, passed around with the last cups of coffee.
The softly coloured tin, edged in gold and decorated with flowers and Virginia’s historic illustration, gives the biscuits a beautiful setting. It is the sort of gift chosen with a particular person in mind: someone who loves Italian pastry, thoughtful details and a tin worth keeping.
