Almond Pastries with Sicilian Pistachios

Almond paste is one of Italy's most famous confectionery specialities, mainly prepared in Apulia, Salentino, Sicily and Sardinia. The origins are rooted long in the past and can be traced back to the end of 1100 in the vicinity of Palermo. These almond pastries made by Dolceria Antica Bronte contain the best Sicilian almonds combined with sugar and honey and, in this particularly crunchy version, the unmistakable flavour of Bronte pistachios and essential oil of vanilla. A traditional sweet for all occasions and especially on special occasions.
