Pasticceria Matilde Vicenzi Minivoglie Butter Cookies Tin, Assortment of Traditional Italian Pastries, Easter, Mother's, Father's Day Cookie Gift Tin, 500g

I tried these from a discount store 2 years ago and found them here on Amazon during the holidays...they were very minimally broken as there is a cardboard fitting now, and there is a plastic wrapper around the tin for security. These are almost as good as a cookie shop in Little Italy, NYC. I wish they sold the plain ones in bulk as they are good as biscotti in the morning! Try not to eat them up too quickly!

In my opinion,, these were cookies that were not considered high quality by the company that baked them. I believe they were sold as “seconds”.The cookies were covered in crumbs and they were dumped in the tin with none of the usual fluted paper dividers. I tried taking some of the cookies out and dusting off the crumbs and that is when I noticed that there were over cooked marks etc. on all of those that had white on them. Those filled with jam were dry and gummy.You could not pick up a cookie without getting crumbs on your fingers and on your clothing. They were very dry, including the ones with filling.I bought these to serve to guests. In fact I opened the beautiful tin in the presence of a guest and there is where I saw crumbs fall onto her clothing when she bit into the cookie. I put them away to just to eat them by myself but halfway through the tin it was worthless.I wish I could get my money back however this is food, so I doubt that can happen

These cookies are delicious. Fresh, crispy, flavorful.Since Amazon didn't have the European cookies I usually buy, I decided to try these. I'm so glad I did.They come loosely put in a tin, but they weren't broken.The variety is good and the taste is not overly sweet.There are quite a few so the cost is reasonable, especially since the quality is so good.I'll be buying these again.

this listing is for different varieties and clearly some varieties come packaged differently/better.The 1.1lb tin of butter cookies i got was pretty messed up. it’s just a big mix of cookies loose inside, and it gets all busted up in transit. So it’s like 1/3 crumbs and the cookies are all mixed up. This seems very odd to me for a “fancy” cookie company, and the tin and price suggest that’s what these are supposed to be. I expected dividers or something.The cookies taste good but i wouldn’t give this as a gift or put it out at a party.

Very nice flavor and texture of cookies. Well worth the price. I'm giving one star less because they're not the BEST cookies I've every tasted. However, they make a very reasonably-priced but good quality gift.

I was thinking of getting butter cookies for the holidays. So, instead of buying the traditional, "blue tin" I thought I'd try something new. First impression is the outside. The tin looked pretty and the images of the cookies on it were appealing. Opened the tin upon arrival... no nicely packaged sections. All of the cookies are just jumbled together. Most of them are broken to some extent. Taste - meh. Very dry (and I know shortbread are not a moist cookie) but like, "you-need-tea or coffee" DRY. The chocolate ones are weak in flavor. Nothing spectacular about this selection. I was disappointed. I mean a cookie is a cookie, so, yes they got eaten. Will we buy these again? Absolutely not.

Mid morning snack with coffee these delicious ( Matilde Vicenza, Selected Assorted Cookies ) really are Fine Cookies. I take them to work with me for mid morning snack.the sturdy tin they come in keep the cookies fresh & whole not broken, ( Okey maybe a few broken ones but still Great ).Everyone” should try these really Good Cookies & and with cold glass of milk too,

I purchased this cookie sampler because it was from Italy. My husband is Italian and we used to visit his family often. Italian products are great, so when I saw this cookie tin, I thought I'd get it for the holidays. I expected this to be like the Danish butter cookies, each variety in it's own paper liner and in two layers - the tin is deep. Instead, the tin is lined in corrugated cardboard (the type for pastries and cookies), but all of the cookies are just thrown in there. When I opened the nice tin, there was a parchment round and then a cardboard round beneath it. I lifted it up and inside was a mess of crumbs and cookies. Every cookie was covered in crumbs. There were some pretty cookies in there, but they didn't look pretty because of the mess. I had to clean it up and I tried to organize the cookies, but in the end, I feel that I wasted my money. The cookies didn't even taste that good. I could have purchased the Danish butter cookies, paid much less and enjoyed them much more. I wouldn't buy these cookies again.
