Since 1858, Antonio Mattei biscuits have been baked fresh daily and individually packed by hand in the iconic Blu Mattei bag.
Traditionally, biscuit tins are used to preserve the freshness of the biscuits, and the factory has been offering these reusable containers since the last century.
This cookie jar is part of a series of tin packages designed by Florentine illustrators Simone Massoni and Ilaria Falorsi. It showcases Tuscany through the lens of the Antonio Mattei biscuit factory. Featuring a geometric map-inspired grid, the design highlights key Tuscan landmarks, including the historic Biscottificio in Prato and the new Florentine Bottega Museum. Also included is an image of Antonio Mattei, the founder, depicted with his vintage walking cane as a whimsical tourist.
The pink hue of the design reflects the stunning sunsets visible from the Versilia coast to the Apuan Alps.
Made with just five simple ingredients—flour, sugar, free-range eggs, almonds, and pine nuts—these biscuits are free from preservatives, animal fats, or vegetable oils.
Pair them with: – Vinsanto at the end of a meal, or soft grappa; – coffee or cappuccino for a light snack.
Once opened, store in a cool, dry place in the tightly sealed package.
