Biscotti Jar

"Show off your creations"

If you are looking for a biscotti jar to show off your biscotti creations I listed a few here.

A biscotti jar is for decoration really. A Tupperware or anything sealed would work for storing, but heck, I spend time baking and giving gifts - I wanna some extra pizzazz to show them off! The jar is a way to show off my creations!

The history of biscotti is these cookies ( we call them biscuits) were made for traveling. Thus, the double baking and very little oil or egg! So even if you purchase a jar that doesn't have a super tight seal - you will most likely be OK. Follow any of the biscotti recipes and they will keep. I know - I just had some I cooked several months back.

A few other things that help immensely in making biscotti baking be a smooth process:

  • using a serrated knife


  • using a biscotti pan


    • The knife is a must. You will need to slice and NOT CRUSH for your second baking. A crappy knife will ruin everything you did up till that point. Yeah, I know - a bummer. But a good serrated knife can be used for far more than just biscotti. You will be cutting other things too!

    The biscotti pan is just an extra to get even biscuits. When I give these for gifts I like them to look a little more professional than if a first grader assembled them. It's just an extra added touch and I thought I'd let you know the pans are available. Too I'm a big fan of Chicago Metallic. They are reasonably priced and GOOD quality.



    Here's the Italian biscotti recipes - I've baked all of these and have the recipes here for you to use:
