About Us

Biscotti Goddess began in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2001 by a local caterer supplying local wholesale accounts (gift and gourmet shops, coffee houses, etc) who desired premium biscotti. The next step was a direct offering to customers through gift and craft shows, following with our website in 2003.

As steady growth and demand for more biscotti grew, J. Day Baking Company purchased Biscotti Goddess in the summer of 2006. In the fall of 2007 Biscotti Goddess opens under new ownership, Jan DeFalco, and fulfills Jan's life-long love of baking. Our biscotti will be available to the public through trade shows, phone, website and at these locations.

Please contact us about providing biscotti as wedding, holiday or corporate gift items to clients. Simply send us your gift list and we will do the rest.

About Our Biscotti

If you've tried biscotti before, you’ve no doubt had mixed experiences. That’s because not all biscotti are created equally. The truth is, there are many different recipes, resulting in as many different flavors and textures. At Biscotti Goddess, we begin with an all butter recipe, which results in a crunchy and flavorful cookie. The flavoring ingredients we then add to the basic recipe give each variety a delicious twist. We use generous amounts of toasted nuts, chocolate chips, citrus zest, essential oils and premium dried fruits to give each flavor a unique and distinctive taste. All of our biscotti are mixed in small batches and the loaves are shaped by hand. After baking, we slice each loaf by hand into individual sticks, which are then returned to the oven for a second baking. Due to the amount of hand work involved in our baking process, you’ll no doubt notice some variation in stick sizing. Each two ounce stick is then individually wrapped for freshness and flavor retention. Because of their low moisture content, our biscotti have a three month shelf life. Just keep them away from moisture and direct sunlight, and they will maintain freshness for weeks. Keep them in their wrappers in an airtight container or bag -- there’s no need to refrigerate or freeze them. If biscotti lose their crispness, simply toast in a 250 degree oven for a few minutes. If you prefer your biscotti a little softer, microwave on half power (defrost setting) for about 30 seconds.
