Baci di Dama orange cookies with chocolate

Baci di Dama are traditional Italian cookies that originated in Piedmont, but are now widespread and even highly prized internationally. They consist of two round, buttery almond cookies joined together by a layer of chocolate. With their delicate texture and light sweetness, they are a popular cookie with coffee or tea. These Baci di Dama from Amaretti Virginia have a fruity freshness thanks to a paste of candied orange peel incorporated into the dough.

Soft amaretti have been produced in Sassello in Liguria since 1860. And the place where the little delicacies were made quickly established itself as a local meeting place - so much so that the square where it was located was referred to as "Piazza degli Amaretti Virginia" on contemporary postcards. Amaretti Virginia soon earned international fame in the form of numerous awards. This in turn attracted imitators, which is why the founder had the Virginia brand placed under the protection of the laws of the Kingdom of Italy as early as 1897. Anyone who tastes the delicious Amaretti Virginia today immediately understands their popularity, because the valuable experience of over 150 years, combined with modern confectioner's creativity and the use of selected ingredients, is both a quality claim and a promise for Amaretti Virginia. This also means that Amaretti Virginia's products and recipes have not had to adapt to technology, but that the machines have been specially designed for each product. In addition to the famous soft Amaretti, other confectionery specialties are now also produced.
