Fortini\u00ae biscuits were born in a delicatessen in Forte dei Marmi in 1991.<\/p>

Between 1994 and 2001 they became widespread throughout Italy thanks to word of mouth and a careful commercial policy.<\/p>

In 2001, they were the first Italian artisanal biscuits to be in single pack (without adding any preservatives or flavourings). This allowed a significant increase in production, developing both the domestic and foreign markets.<\/p>

During the great financial and economical crisis in 2008, the company was purchased by Dr. Giovanni Francalancia Vivanti Siebzehner.<\/p>

Since 2015 \u2013 thanks in part to the entry into the company of Silvia and Riccardo (Giovanni’s children) \u2013 new flavors have been developed and, most importantly, plastic has been abandoned as the material for single pack wrapping, which have been certified “OK COMPOST INDUSTRIAL” by T\u00dcV Austria since 2021.<\/p>

Today, the company manually produces more than 2 million Fortini\u00ae biscuits per year, serving hundreds of stores throughout Italy and Europe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

KNEAD<\/strong>
The Fortini\u00ae short pastry is preparated slowly and delicately, using only centrifuge butter, flour, sugar and eggy yolk.<\/p>

HAND ROLLING<\/strong>
Fortini\u00ae are produced as they once were, that\u2019s why we continue to roll them by hand, without the help of machinery or molds.<\/p>

CUTTING AND COOKING<\/strong>
After rolling, Fortini\u00ae are cooled for 24 hours, cut and the cooked in the oven.<\/p>

PACKING<\/strong>
After cooking Fortini\u00ae are cooled to room temperature and finally packed one by one in single portion.<\/p>
