National Chocolate With Almonds Day was last Wednesday 8th. Almonds are a nutrient-dense snack, rich in protein, healthy fats, and vitamin E, supporting heart health, sustained energy, and overall well-being. This makes them a perfect addition to biscuits such as florentines. Despite the name, florentines weren’t created in Florence, or even Italy. They were created in France by pastry chefs to honour the French queen, Catherine de Medici who was born in Florence.
