Mangiamo Biscotti

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Enjoy the tastes of Italy and indulge in Biscotti Bites — a sweet treat by Eilean Maree launched just in time for the festive season.

The traditional Italian biscotti (a twice-baked cookie) is a crisp, crunchy almond cookie that can be found in international cafes and coffee houses. Maree, who has previous experience in the hotel industry, decided to market her love for the biscotti through Biscotti Bites which was launched this month. In an interview with Thursday Food, Maree commented that she is pleased with the response thus far and that her business continues to grow, "I am happy with the sales thus far and supply my cookies to schools and clients in the Corporate Area." The cookies are available in individual packets priced at only $100 and gift boxes for $1000. The health-conscious can enjoy this treat — guilt free — as the biscotti is low in sugar and is made with canola oil....more

Members of The Jamaica Tourist Board-sponsored Culinary Tour of Jamaica Press Trip enjoyed lunch Saturday afternoon in Aylsham.
