Panforte?, a senese delicacy has its origins shrouded in legend. Panforte basic ingredients are fresh almonds, candied-fruits, spices and honey?. The most popular panforte is Panforte Margherita, named after the wife of Italian King Umberto I, which was prepared for the first time in 1879, for the occasion of Queen Margherita's visit to Siena for the Palio.
It is based on a recipe which gave the cake a more delicate taste?, adding sprinkled confectioner's sugar?? around its base. From that moment it became a classic tradition in senese pastry-making. Margherita Panforte is distinguishable even by its soft? texture?.
It is considered the classic panforte of all times.
The roots of the Torrone history are based in ancient Rome. This delicacy made of honey?, almonds and albumen was reserved for formal functions or as offerings to the gods. Various other cultures have versions of Torrone, such as the Arabs, who are said to have introduced it to the Spanish.
Italy has its own well-documented version of Torrone, born on October 25, 1441. At the wedding of Bianca Maria Visconti and Francesco Sforza, the bride not only had many jewels, money and riches of every kind as part of her dowry, but her father also offered the city of Cremona itself. To commemorate this, the court's pastry chefs decided to make a new confection in the shape of the city's tower named the Torione, in order to represent the city.
By mixing almonds, honey and beaten egg? whites and cooking them for long hours over low heat, they precisely reproduced the large tower that dominated the city. Needless-to-say, the sweet was a great success with the guests who came from Europe, and soon requests for the city's special delicacy were received from all over the world.

Traditionally served only around Christmas, torrone is now commonly enjoyed as an elegant dessert alternative throughout the year.
The distinctive small cookies called amaretti? (translated: "a tiny bit bitter"), may be packaged in boxes, loose in clear bags, or come wrapped in pairs in flowerlike tissues, echoing one romantic legend of their origin. This tells of how a young baker and his lovely fiancée had invented the cookies in the 1700's as a gift to the visiting Cardinal of Milan. Though it was customary to present the Cardinal with cakes or sweets, the town's scant food supplies could not feed the prelate's huge entourage; so the lovers quickly gathered sacks of almonds, sugar?, eggs and flour?, and baked scores of shiny and chewy biscuits. The appreciative Cardinal and his numerous followers soon became regular customers. Three generations later, when the delicious almond liqueur? Amaretto was invented, amaretti incorporated this taste?. Sprinkled with diamond-like sugar crystals, amaretti today lend special enjoyment after meals to tables all around the world, and are especially delicious when dipped in red wine.

Excellent with red/dessert wines, espresso?/coffee, cappuccino, tea or ice-cream?.
