Gullón Lady Fingers Cookies, 14.1 oz (400g)

Baked to European rules. Potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide, both used to treat flour in American baking, are not permitted in the European Union. Six food colours that are still common in American biscuits and iced cakes must carry a warning on the label here, so European bakers stopped using them. Titanium dioxide, used to make icing and coatings an opaque white, has been banned as a food colour in the EU since 2022. It is the same reason the ingredient list on the back of the pack is short.

Classic Spanish-made savoiardi biscuits --- light, airy, and delicately sugar-dusted, perfect for both snacking and baking. Each finger has a slightly crisp exterior that softens beautifully when dipped. With about 12 servings per package, they are equally at home on a dessert table or layered into a classic tiramisu. A pantry staple for any European-style baker.

Savoiardi — the crisp, sugar-dusted sponge fingers that soak up coffee without collapsing, which is why they are the base of tiramisu and charlotte russe. Also eaten plain with coffee. Almost no fat: 1 g in four biscuits, and no saturated fat at all. The 35 mg of cholesterol comes from the egg, which is most of what these are.
