These Traditional Italian Cookie tins are a refined and elegant gift idea, suitable for every occasion and celebration, made even more precious by their content: a selection of Italian Biscotti which are perfect for tea time. Since 1890 Gentilini has used sophisticated boxes and cartons to contain and preserve its Traditional Italian Cookies, which with the passing of time, have become true witnesses of the historical, stylistic and social changes of a century. Many samples have been produced, each according to the taste and the iconographic precepts of the time. That switched from the Art Nouveau style that is full of decorations, of floral elements and sinuosity of relief items, to Art Deco, that rediscovered symmetrical structures, with composite and decentralized shapes up to the dry, clean and austere lines with sober and cold colors after World War II. Contains: Brasil 250 g, Marie 250 g, Osvego Mini 250 g, Tripolini 250 g

Beautiful tin - Stale Cookies
I ordered this item because wanted the tin. I was pleased that it was larger than I expected and in perfect condition.The cookies on the other hand were stale, although it is difficult to tell how they were meant to be. One bag was already open but that obviously happened at the factory as the tin was perfectly sealed. No flavor, no aroma, unpalatable. I threw them away.As I said, I wanted the tin so I have no regrets. I bake wonderful cookies from many delicious Italian recipes and I can refill the tin with the best.

Love the cookies and the tin!
The cookies tasted great. I'm addicted now. I'm going to have to buy more! I thought they would be biscottis like the ones that are long and oblong shaped and eaten by dipping in strong coffee. These are actually round and cookie like. I originally just purchased this for the container. I love the vintage look of the tin and how big it is. I could use it to store a couple of pounds of ground coffee or even home baked cookies. I'm sure the storage possibilities are endless.

Feel Like you are Eating Healthy
Until I tasted these biscottiera I did not think I liked any biscotti. I have since ordered another box. The first box was a gift.

STALE
There are four kinds of cookies packaged inside the tin. All four kinds tasted stale to me and my guests. With no "Use By" or "Made On" date on the packaging, there is no way to tell how long ago they were made. I was sorry that I bought them and ended up throwing them out.

Three types of cookies in a beautiful big tin
These cookies exceeded my expectations. There are three types, wrapped separately, all delicious. Admittedly I ordered most of all for the wonderful retro tin, so getting such good cookies was a pleasant surprise!
