REVIEW:

Iamori Hazelnut Biscotti are incredibly delicious.  There is a strong sweet, nutty hazelnut flavor with each bite that is accompanied by the satisfying crunch of having actual hazelnuts packed throughout the biscotti.  The hazelnuts seem to be lightly toasted as well, so there is a wonderful layer of flavor added to the nuts that compliments the entire experience of the biscotti very nicely.  The texture of the biscotti is firm and crunchy without being dry and brittle.  They hold up really well to being dunked into warm beverages, not becoming soggy and falling apart like many biscotti have a tendency to do.  There is a quality to them that feels wholesome and homemade, where I can imagine someone laboring over the ingredients to ensure that the outcome is the tastiest it can be.  It seems to me that their efforts have paid off.  Not only is this the best gluten free biscotti I’ve ever had, it’s up there with one of the best biscotti I’ve ever had, period.  I look forward to sampling their other flavors too! 

The name of the company, Iamori, means “to see the light” in Tahitian and I feel like I certainly have by discovering this product.  They have a wonderful website that details everything from the origins of the company to ingredients and recipe suggestions.  These hazelnut biscotti have simple honest ingredients and are only about 43 calories each!  That certainly means that there will be some guilt-free indulging on my end!  I should also mention that these scrumptious treats are made locally in San Jose, and are made with care and attention so that even those of us with the most extreme allergy to gluten can enjoy all of their baked goods.
