Biscotteddu - Su Guttiau
Biscotteddu by Su Guttiau is much more than a simple biscuit: it is a staple of Sardinian pastry-making, a sweet treat rooted in the island's culinary tradition, often associated with festive occasions and special moments. While the Su Guttiau range is renowned for savoury snacks such as Pane Guttiau, with Biscotteddu the company also demonstrates its expertise in traditional sweet baking, offering a product of very high quality with a simple yet effective recipe.
The secret to its success lies in the careful selection of raw materials. The recipe contains a high proportion of eggs (around 40% of the total ingredients), which gives it its soft structure, lightness and golden colour. The eggs are carefully worked together with wheat flour and sugar until an airy mixture is obtained. Subsequent oven baking gives the biscuit its characteristic softness and slightly sponge-like texture, making it a distinctive sweet treat that is also known in different areas of Sardinia as a local variation of light Pan di Spagna.
The production process at Su Guttiau combines the care of artisanal baking with the freshness and hygiene standards of modern production. This ensures that Biscotteddu retains its fragrance and freshly baked flavour until it is ready to be enjoyed. Its versatility is remarkable: it is perfect for dunking at breakfast, but it truly excels in desserts.
Biscotteddu is the foundation of many regional desserts. Its ability to absorb syrups, liqueurs or coffee without losing its structure makes it indispensable in the preparation of Tiramisù and Zuppa Inglese, giving desserts a wonderfully soft texture and an authentic flavour. It is also an excellent afternoon snack, perhaps accompanied by a glass of Sardinian fortified wine for a traditional pairing, or simply enjoyed with a cup of hot tea. Choosing Biscotteddu by Su Guttiau means not only enjoying a delicious sweet treat, but also bringing home a piece of Sardinian gastronomic culture, celebrating its simplicity and the quality of its authentic ingredients.
