Why it's worth it

Pavesini are Italy's ultra-light little sponge biscuits, famously used at home instead of ladyfingers to build a quicker tiramisu. They are a low-fat everyday snack and a pantry staple in Italian kitchens. The exact biscuit is not a Czech shelf item, though Czech piškoty play a similar role.
