Frequently Asked Questions

…because life is full of questions. Luckily, biscotti isn’t one of them.


What is biscotti?

Biscotti are traditional Italian twice-baked cookies, famous for their crisp, dry texture—perfect for dipping.
Ours? We add a uniquely South African twist to give you a bietjie iets anders in every bite.


How long does biscotti last?

If stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard (not next to your onions, please), your biscotti will stay fresh and crunchy for 30+ days.
But don’t leave them out, or they’ll go soft—like your New Year’s resolutions.
They also freeze better than a Karoo winter and defrost faster than you can say “maak gou met daai koffie!”
Perfect for biscotti emergencies (yes, that’s a thing).


How should I eat biscotti?

With your mouth, obviously.
Dip them in coffee, tea, or dessert wine. We love them with rooibos, espresso, or hot chocolate.
They’re also great just as they are—because they’re not as rock-hard as beskuit or Cantucci, but still satisfyingly crunchy.


Do you offer gluten-free or vegan biscotti?

Yes!
We offer gluten-free options in most of our flavours and even vegan-friendly healthy beskuit.
Check product labels or visit our website for full ingredient info.


What makes Bietjie Iets Anders biscotti special?

We blend old-school baking with local flair—from white chocolate & cranberry, to almond & aniseed Melktert classics, to dark chocolate & stout.
Old-school baking, a little attitude, and a lot of flavour in every bite.
