Today, Biscotti Bizantini tell a story made of simplicity and authenticity: quality ingredients, some organic, care for the environment and a deep bond with their roots. New sweet and savoury variants have grown from the original recipe, continuing to celebrate the pleasure of being together and sharing something genuine.
The scent of the sea, the sound of the waves and memories intertwined with the warmth of family: this is where this story begins.
We are just steps from the sea, in the Ravenna of the 1970s, where grandfather Umberto, at the end of a long career as a professor, chooses to retire to a small bookshop in Marina di Ravenna. Together with his wife Franca, among the pages of an old cookbook, a special recipe resurfaces, capable of turning simple ingredients into something unforgettable.
From that moment on, grandmother Franca fills the house with the scent of her freshly baked biscuits, giving children, grandchildren and friends moments of genuine sweetness. A wholesome flavour, tied to tradition, which soon becomes the heart of shared moments, especially during the holidays.
That recipe becomes a true family story, preserved over time, keeping intact the iconic Mosaici shape and the unique fragrance of grandmother Franca’s biscuits.
After more than 50 years, Jacopo and Lorenzo have chosen to bring this precious legacy back to life. With passion and respect for tradition, in an artisan workshop they give new life to Biscotti Bizantini, starting with the classic version with raisins, just as grandmother Franca used to make them.
