Welcome!

Frankie's Old World BiscottiThe story of Frankie's Old World Biscotti begins in the hills of Calabria in 1592, with a sacred family recipe. Biscotti were part of a local wedding custom, and made with only the freshest black anisette, sun roasted almonds, stoneground flour, and other homegrown flavors. Priests blessed the dough before baking in a brick oven, a process that took three days. The result was biscotti softer in texture, and unlike those made commercially today. I am so happy to carry on my family's tradition and present my biscotti to you - they are made with love, heart, and the soul of Old Calabria.
