Almond paste cookies are typically Sicilian.
Produced by expert confectioners with Sicilian almonds, especially the "Pizzuta" variety from the area of Noto, almond paste cookies, along with "cassata", are ambassadors for the flavors of the island. They are best eaten with coffee or as a mid-afternoon snack.
Some variations include a pistachio or hazelnut base. So take the culinary advice of New Travel Services and enjoy them.
