Cooking & Storage Tips

After the first bake, let the log cool for about 10-15 minutes. If you cut it while it’s too hot, it will crumble; if it’s too cold, it will be too hard to slice. Always use a serrated bread knife and a gentle sawing motion to achieve clean, professional edges without breaking the nuts.
Let biscotti cool completely before storing in an airtight jar. They can last 2–3 weeks at room temperature and are perfect for gifting or travel snacks.
