Almond Biscuits "Cantucci Stabiesi" are delicious sweets made with simple ingredients such as eggs, sugar, flour, almonds and pisto.

The production of Almond Cantucci Stabiesi, also known as Quaresimali, is an art that has been handed down from generation to generation in the town of Stabia. It begins with the selection of the freshest and best quality almonds. The other ingredients, such as flour, sugar and eggs, are carefully measured and mixed to form a homogeneous dough. The dough is then shaped into small oblong shapes and placed on a baking tray. The Almond Cantucci Stabiesi are then slowly baked in an oven at a controlled temperature to ensure even cooking and perfect crispiness. Once cooled, the biscuits are carefully packaged to preserve their freshness. This artisanal production process is what makes Almond Cantucci Stabiesi so special and appreciated all over the world.
