Biscottoni morbidi al limone e pinoli con olio extravergine di oliva. Oleificio Fratelli Vieste

"Delicious, large, very soft, with yogurt and extra virgin olive oil in the dough. I flavored them with plenty of lemon zest and topped them with pine nuts which, combined with citrus fruits, I always love."

For this new recipe, Azzurra Sprinkles Dress used our lemon-flavored extra virgin olive oil to give an even more intense aroma and flavor.
