Ricciarelli are soft almond biscuits typical of Siena, in Tuscany. They date back to medieval times and are traditionally enjoyed during the Christmas season.

This version from Flamigni is shaped like a comet, a festive twist on the classic, and made with almonds and cocoa for a soft, chewy bite with a rich chocolate note.

Served with a glass of sweet wine, they make a simple yet elegant end to any meal, and a lovely addition to a Christmas gift.
