Lady fingers belong to the family of egg biscuits, so made of beaten sugar and eggs with some flour; to this family belong Bismark biscuits, Novara biscuits and Champagne biscuits.

Lady fingers, biscuits of regal origin, ara characterized by an extreme lightness and friability given them by  beaten white egg; during the cooking, the little air balls expand and the biscuits grow up and take their typical frothy consistence.

The "Savoia biscuits" were born during the late Middle Ages, and they had been created by the chef of the Amedeo VI's court for a very rich dinner organized in honour of the exceptional visit of the France king (about 1348). Afterwards, thanks to the success it obtained during the unforgettable banquet, these biscuits called "Savoiardi", had been "officially" adoptedby Regal Savoia Houses becoming a very appreciated gluttony for the young heirs of the Savoia dinasty.

"El biscutin"  also is of Piedmonte origin, arrived in all the areas of Savoia influence. In France we can find it mentioned into the Dumas cookery dictionary; in Sardinia it lost some eggs becoming flater; in Sicily it abandoned some white eggs becoming more toasted.

Our Antico Savoiardo senza farina is particular for the absence of this ingredient and for its careful manufacture, it is the image of a pure artisanality.
