'Twas the
beginning of the twentieth century in
Florence, when Grandfather Angiolino,
called “Il Vinaio” (the wine
merchant), produced “Vinsanto”,
the antique sweet and strong wine.
One day, he made a friendship with a
well-known character of the culinary arts
who said that a good vinsanto would be very
well-matched with Cantuccio, the most
traditional Tuscan cookie, today renowned
all over the world. Although its paternity
is still contended, tradition says that the
Cantuccio first saw the light of day in
Prato, and so the name, “Biscotto di
Prato”.
Simple to prepare, a few fresh and
wholesome ingredients wisely mixed are
enough to make a biscuit that is fragrant
and deliciously crumbly.
The famous biscuit is baked for the
holidays and enjoyed after lunch, after
dinner, alone or in company, plain or
slightly soaked in vinsanto... a practice
that will forever bound the biscuit to the
sweet wine.
We have to return to the fifties to
remember our first steps in the food sector
at our grandfather's renowned bakery in
Prato. “Sor Nandino” taught us
the secrets of “arte bianca”
which in Italian is simply the art of
working with flour. From these experiences,
the idea to start our own business was born
with Branchetti Bakery on Via del Serraglio
in Prato.Since then, thanks to the secrets
of “arte bianca” learned from
our grandfather, we continue to mix our
ingredients following the old methods,
using only the freshest and most wholesome
products.
Today Branchetti Biscotti, well-known and
esteemed by many, continues on in the light
of that tradition with a brand-new workshop
created to satisfy our customers and their
numerous requests.
