ABOUT US
Massimiliano and Riccardo Lunardi relaunch the family business, creating a new brand and images that carry their faces: FRATELLI LUNARDI is born.Linked by the family tie and by an incredibly strong passion for food in general, the two brothers work together, teaming their individual abilities and attitudes in a job offering daily challenges, sharing hopes, happiness and the occasional disappointment.Research, development and selection are constant facets of their work.Everything is based on the concept that when an ingredient is the very best, it should be respected in a balanced recipe that best enhances its traits.In the Quarrata bakery, bread, sweet and savoury items have been produced since 1966, made to meet the shop’s needs. New recipes are also tested here.Only the best of these products have been selected for the FRATELLI LUNARDI brand to be distributed all over the world:
the crumbly biscuits CANTUCCIthe precious LEAVENED CAKES
the special WINE JELLIES
and other creations linked to holidays and celebrations. The choice of ingredients is critical for the “Brothers of gluttony” who do not use preservatives, dyes or other chemical additives.Friendship, honesty and respect to suppliers, partners and clients are the foundation of their work, it is a gamble that must be taken so that high quality becomes an hallmark.
the brothers of gluttony...
CANTUCCI are traditional Tuscan biscuits.Baked shaped like a long loaf, they are cut on the diagonal to make the famous little slices,known as “cantucci” in Tuscan dialect.As our aim was to make a delicious, soft biscuit for daily eating, suitable at any time of the day, we reworked the recipe, adding butter and playing with other ingredients, coming up with seven different flavours, four of which feature chocolate.All of our cantucci are based on a central ingredient, based on the principle that when ingredients are of the finest quality, they must be respected, in a balanced recipe that best enhances their traits.Using the finest products, observing their seasonality and finding the best ways to preserve them naturally allows us not to use preservatives, additives or artificial colourings, which subdue the wonderful diversity of natural flavours. This is the best guarantee of a handcrafted product made with love.
CANTUCCI
Organic Italian wheat flours only.
Organic free-range eggs only.
PACKED IN BAGSTo package our cantucci, we chose the traditional bag, perfect for everyday use.
Parchment paper enabled us to create artistic packaging with a touch of craftsmanship.The seven flavours in the collection are available in 200g format, which allows for high product rotation.Only the almonds and chocolate versions are available in the larger 400g format. For bulk buys, we have
designed a 1Kg bag, a format that we believe is ideal to offer customers with a product that is always fresh. In its well designed pack it could be sold as all the other formats, as a special gift or for people who know
exactly what they are looking for. We propose the 1Kg bag for chocolate, almonds and muesli.LOOSE IN BOXES
To meet the Ho.Re.Ca. needs we pack by hand loose cantucci in the boxes,proposing again the long loaf, in order to minimize broken pieces.

OUR
The chocolate cantuccio is the KING of the CANTUCCI collection, as it was the first flavour to be made than the traditional almond one, the first to receive a unanimous stamp of approval.The recipe dates back more than a decade ago, when we experimented with chocolate in the dough for the first time, which gave the biscuits their distinctive brown colour.Deliciously flavoured with its big pieces, these biscuits are perfect by themselves or when served with a curl of cream, just like the classic Viennese Sachertorte. Slightly warm, the taste of the chocolate is fully released, enhanced by hints of Italian oranges.
CHOCOLATECANTUCCIO
“King of the cantucci kingdom, the most envied of all in its golden appearance and the most sought-after by gourmands. We suggest you keep these underlock and key to make them last longer”.

“If I come home from work and open the fridge to eat something ... my wife goes on a rampage ... that’s why I eat “DU’ BISCOTTI” in the car…secretly ... but with all the necessary calm ... a great idea to stop farving & have a wife happy”.Andrea Fermaporte

DISPENSER(capacity: 10 bags)
For this biscuit, we decided to use dark chocolate in small pieces, as well as mixed into the dough to best enhance the naturally candied orange. Using candied
orange is a classic in Italian baking and combining it with chocolate is always a must. The decision was made to use thick orange peel as it allows softer candied fruit,
perfect for our soft biscuits.

“We have chosen special Italian orange peel, slowly and naturally candied in open tubs, without chemical additives
for a natural and fragrant softness”.

This cantuccio hails from the idea of bringing thescent of gianduja to a biscuit. Gianduja is the mostfamous form of Italian chocolate, a result ofPiedmontese genius, having gone in search of asolution when cocoa supplies stopped after the war.Chocolate makers found the answer in the old hazelgroves in the hills. We wanted to use thosehazelnuts in our product, as there was no other wayto recreate that exciting aroma, which is achievedwhen hazelnut gives some of its intense scent to thecantuccio during baking, combining with thechocolate, used in small pieces as well as in thedough.
CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUTSCANTUCCIO
“We select the Piemonte hazelnut IGP which oncetoasted is added whole to the chocolate mixturegiving the cantucci an irresistible giandujafragrance”.

We left Italian borders in choosing this combination,which struck us in the English ‘chocolate and mint’
so much that we wanted to convey it in this biscuit.The recipe uses more than 35% dark chocolate,
partly mixed into the dough and partly left in smallpieces, giving the cantuccio a strong chocolate
flavour, that is necessary for us in the combinationwith the Pancalieri mint, characterized by an
intensely fresh aroma.

The almonds cantuccio is traditional in Tuscany andit was the first to be exported abroad in the wake oftextiles. We allowed ourselves to rework the recipeby adding butter to make a more crumbly biscuit,which can be eaten at any time of the day, withouthaving to be softened by being dipped in Vin Santo,making it a more flexible biscuit.In addition to the Sicilian almonds, we added“armelline” (the seeds contained in an apricot stone)to the mixture in a balance of flavours on thebittersweet spectrum.

“This is the typical Tuscan recipe, and we’ve addedbutter to make the almonds cantucci even crumblier.The almonds come from Sicily. Classic with a nice VinSanto, always delicious”.

The handcraft production of sweet leavened is complex: it takes manual skills and sensitivity. It’s a long path determined largely by the yeast, because without using starter (brewer’s yeast) but only our 80 years old yeast, you have to wait that it starts the fermentation naturally. In order not to stress or heat the flour and the dough, we work with small, slow equipment, and we stay there listening, always available. But it’s worth it, especially in terms of digestibility, because natural slow rising respects our bacterial flora, without irritating the stomach. The goodness of a product does not come just from the mouth, but it starts from the story of its ingredients and ends in the wonderful sensation of “feeling good”. Vin Santo naturally preserves our cakes for 8 months, without adding any chemical additives. BLACKChocolate leavened cake with dark chocolate in pieces, drenched in Vin Santo.

The idea of “eating wine” with the spoon (only the Good wine) paired with cheese, meats and sweets, we’ve always liked. This is how our jellies have started, adding only sugar and apple pectin, in order to maximize the wines and leave unchanged all their special qualities. We have selected four Tuscan wines, and the balsamic vinegar, that is a must in Italian seasonings.Following our suggestions on how to use them: BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINOSuitable for the preparation of particularly refined dishes, special to enhance a good chocolate cake.VIN SANTOOptimal for mature and blue cheeses, and dishes made with liver. Ideally with our cantucci with almonds.VERNACCIAGood with fresh and aged pecorino, a winning pair with rabbit meat.CHIANTIWe recommend pairing with fresh ricotta cheese, seasoned and baked, panna cotta and sweet creamy puddings.ACETO BALSAMICOObvious tasting with Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano, boiled and grilled meats. Try it with fresh strawberries.
