Add a photoThe Biscotti can be traced back to Roman times. They were a convenient food that contained sustenance for both travelers and the Roman Legions. The dry, crunchy cookie contained no fat, but was nourishment for the Roman Legion. They were dipped in wine or any other liquid available. Because of the convenience of the Biscotti, the soldier could travel far with this food.
The Biscotti became famous all over Italy, but in Tuscany is where flavors were added; such as anisette, amaretto and lemon.
Columbus is said to be the one who brought the biscotti to the U.S. He needed a viable food source that would resist moisture and mold while on his journey.
Today the biscotti is popular in the U.S as well as many other countries. It is now considered a delectable dessert, which includes fruits and nuts, and is a companion to the coffee. My family has used a variety of fruits and flavors, but the Lemon Cranberry Biscotti is my favorite
