The original Amaretti Virginia 1860

The name “Amaretti” comes from the Italian word “amaro” , which means bitter . It refers to the bitter apricot kernels used in the manufacture of both amaretti cookies and amaretto liqueur.

Amaretti cookies are usually alcohol-free and naturally gluten- and dairy-free, making them perfect for people with celiac disease or for those who prefer gluten-free alternatives.
