Crisp chocolate shortbread cookies from the Veneto.

For almost 40 years, Elledi Gran Biscotti has been making Italy’s favorite regional biscotti and confections in packaging as colorful and festive as Italy’s elegant coffee bars, where “twice-cooked” treats are never far from one’s fingertips. Situated in Padova, in the heart of the Veneto’s “coffeebelt”, Elledi gains inspiration from nearby Venice and Verona, where Italy’s most esteemed, historic coffee bars have been bustling for centuries. Elledi’s confections, typical to several regions of Italy, have deceptively simple ingredients and delciously supple flavors.

Inspired by the famous Frollini, literally "tender cookies" of northern Italy, the ornate Frollkao are crisp chocolate shortbreads that will have kids of all ages reaching for a glass of milk.
