Tegole Valdostane alle Mandorle e Nocciole
Valle d'Aosta — Aosta
Valle d'Aosta's signature biscuit — ultra-thin, curved wafers made by pressing a batter of ground almonds, hazelnuts, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla over a mould while still warm, producing a shape resembling a roof tile (tegola). The crisp, delicate wafer shatters like glass at the first bite, releasing an intensely toasted nut flavour and sweetness. Traditionally served alongside caffè valdostano (a communal coffee ritual using a carved wooden grolla cup passed between people).
