Legend has it that Florentines have been enjoyed across Europe since the Renaissance, when they were first baked in the eponymous Italian city. More than seven centuries later, local artisanal biscuit makers Maison de Florentin - who use an authentic ancestral recipe to create these thin and crispy festive treats - have reinvented them.

Packed with oranges, almonds and nougatine, and coated in a bottom layer of dark chocolate, these Dark Chocolate and Orange Florentine biscuits are full of Christmas flavours - with just a hint of caramel too. Add to a luxurious Christmas hamper to create an extra special gift, or treat yourself to a box to enjoy with your tea or coffee in the build-up to the big day. You deserve it with all that card-writing, gift-wrapping and decorating!
