Why it's worth it

Lazzaroni has baked amaretti in Saronno since 1718 from a secret recipe, and its red-and-gold tin is one of the most recognisable images in Italian confectionery. Each cookie is individually wrapped, which makes the tin an easy, sturdy souvenir to pack home. Amaretti di Saronno is not a Czech supermarket item.

Taste

Crisp, airy almond macaroons individually wrapped in colourful waxed paper; bittersweet marzipan-like almond flavor with a delicate, hollow crunch

If you know Czech shelves

No direct CZ analog; closest cultural cousin is a bittersweet almond macaroon, but Lazzaroni's paper-wrapped heritage tin format is distinctly Italian
