Bonomi Savoiardi Ladyfingers, Italian Biscuits 250g (8.8oz)

Bonomi Savoiardi Ladyfingers are the classic sponge finger biscuits from Forno Bonomi, a Verona-based Italian baking house that has been producing the light, egg-rich ladyfinger since the mid-20th century — the biscuit that defines tiramisu and appears in every Italian-tradition dessert requiring a soaked-sponge layer. The Savoiardi originated in the Duchy of Savoy in the 15th century as the royal court biscuit, and by the 19th century had become the foundational element of the tiramisu that northern Italy made famous. For the Central European and Balkan diaspora home baker, the Bonomi box is the go-to for building the layered Italian desserts — tiramisu, charlotte russe, and the various trifle-inspired creations — that have become standard at holiday tables from Zagreb to Vienna. Soak briefly in espresso and a splash of Marsala, layer with mascarpone cream, dust generously with cocoa, and refrigerate overnight for the best result.
