My Grandmother always had freshly baked biscotti cookies in her kitchen. Back then, she would store them in round metal tins she kept in the cupboard to keep them crispy. Her cookies were a family favorite. These heirloom quality jars are a beautiful way to store your fresh baked treasures on the counter where everyone can see! -Jacqueline D'Elia, Founder
Artistica manufacturers some pieces in their Italian workshops and complements their collection with imports from twelve Italian manufacturers. Artistica's authentic Majolica wares are museum-quality reproductions from 15th and 16th Century originals, with a variety that spans from jugs, urns, canisters and dinnerware, to cache pots and wall plates in classic Renaissance, and in unique, decorative styles.
Artistica's original Majolica products are not mass produced, but completely hand manufactured by small artisan workshops, mostly located in Deruta and in small towns surrounding Florence, in the central Italian regions of Umbria and Tuscany, for centuries known as "Lands of Saints and Poets”. These exquisite pieces are results of a splendid heritage passed down from ancient artisan families.
Artistica ceramics are designed and hand made by skilled artisans, preferably in quantities small enough to maintain their scarcity.
BISCOTTI JARS
Our hand painted “Biscotti” jars from Deruta and Tuscany are specially created to store the traditional Italian cookies that have recently taken the world by storm.
These subtly sweet, crisp cookies can be found in countries around the globe, but they have been made in Italy as far back as the fourteenth century.
The name Biscotti can be translated as "twice cooked", which indeed describes how these tasty cookies are made.
By baking them twice, they lose excess moisture, ensuring a crisp, dry cookie.
It is said that Christopher Columbus carried biscotti on his voyages because they were so sturdy, and their dryness prevented the problem of spoilage.Since biscotti are not very sweet, they are a perfect snack at any time of day, whether enjoyed with a cup of coffee or dipped into a sweet dessert wine. |
