Florentines

There is a long held debate over the origins of the Florentine, but the largest held credible thought is in the 17th century by pastry chefs at the Palace of Versailles. The biscuits may have been named after Queen Catherine de Medici, who was born in Florence and became the Queen Consort of France in the 16th century.

The crunchy sweetness coupled with the tang of the zest and the depth of the chocolate provide the perfect accompaniment to a double espresso moment.
