Biscotti (singular biscotto), or Paximadia (singular paximadi) are twice-baked biscuits made dry and crunchy through cutting the loaf of dough while still hot and fresh from baking and baking them again. Such nonperishable food was particularly useful during journeys and wars and when refrigeration was not around. It is delicious dipped in coffee or hot beverage of your choice. Irresistible! In the Greek culture, paximadakia is a staple used at celebrations of life, but also as a morning or mid-afternoon snack with coffee or tea. Available in a variety of dried fruits with or without walnuts, almonds, or just plain. Ambro-Sia’s paximadakia are semi-soft (my own personal creation), plain (just walnuts) or with dried fruit and walnuts or almonds. They come plain (not dipped in chocolate) or chocolate dipped.
STORAGE TIPS: Once sealed in an FDA approved bag biscotti can stay fresher than when exposed to the air. Biscotti is twice baked and therefore reducing the temperature extends the shelf-life to approximately nine months in the freezer. However, the ones with the fruit are best when consumed within one to two months at room temperature and/or four months when stored in the refrigerator. May freeze to retain fresh up to six or nine months if completely sealed.
