Small-Batch · Handcrafted · Aurora, Illinois
While biscotti is baked twice, triscotti is baked thrice — tender inside, with a crisp outer bite. Handcrafted by a mother-daughter duo from recipes two generations in the making.
Benvenuti in famiglia — welcome to the family
The third bake is the family secret — it is what makes a When Erminia Met Frank cookie tender at heart with that unmistakable crisp outer bite. No shortcuts, no preservatives, no machines doing the loving.
I
Every batch goes through the oven three times — the slow, patient way. That third pass gives triscotti its signature texture: crisp without, tender within.
II
Organic Frederick flour, organic cane sugar, organic eggs, organic herbs, Himalayan salt, and pure extracts. Ingredients you can pronounce, in cookies you will remember.
III
Handcrafted in small batches by Michele and Katherine — daughter and granddaughter of Erminia and Frank — honoring the recipes and rituals of the old country.

Today, Michele and her daughter Katherine bake every batch by hand — daughter and granddaughter of Erminia and Frank — with organic flour, wholesome ingredients, and the warmth passed down through two generations.
A tavola non si invecchia.
At the table, one never grows old.
