Tre Marie Cranberry & Almond Cookies, 300g

Tre Marie Cranberry & Almond Cookies come from Le Tre Marie, the historic Milanese bakery. In Italy, this is often eaten as a breakfast biscuit rather than an afternoon one: less sweet than you might expect, with a soft, slightly cakey texture - somewhere between a crumbly shortbread and a muffin - studded with dried cranberry pieces and crunchy almond granules.

Treat it the way Italians do, alongside a coffee first thing in the morning, or with a glass of milk if that's more your pace. Because it's not oversweet, it works well earlier in the day than most biscuits - though there's nothing stopping you reaching for one in the afternoon too, with the dried cranberry and almond giving it enough character to stand on its own.

Why we love it:

• Made by Le Tre Marie, the historic Milanese bakery in Italy
• Eaten as a breakfast biscuit in Italy, not just an afternoon one - genuinely less sweet than most
• A soft, slightly cakey texture, somewhere between a crumbly shortbread and a muffin
• Deliberately irregular in shape, more like a home bake than a uniform factory biscuit
  
• Real dried cranberry and almond running through it, rather than just flavouring

How to use:

• Have it the Italian way, with a coffee or a glass of milk first thing in the morning
  
• Just as good later in the day, straight from the tin, since it isn't oversweet
