Storage

Advice
The traditional version of Siena ricciarelli uses bitter almonds, which give that typical bitter aftertaste. Since they are not easy to find, blanched almonds are used instead, with the addition of bitter almond flavoring.
The traditional recipe does not call for other flavorings or dried fruits, but modern pastry has broken all these taboos, and you can find hazelnut, pistachio, lemon, or orange-flavored ricciarelli.
