History :
The history of biscotti begins in the 1950s in Périgueux, with a young apprentice baker, so passionate about his work, that he was entrusted by his employer with the well-kept secret of the recipe for these authentic biscuits.
A few years later, he decided to start and take over a bakery located in the small village of St-Germain-du-Salembre, where he offered bread cooked over a wood fire as well as his famous rusks.
Authentic rusks, the specialty of his bakery, are so successful that the young boy decides to open his own rusks. And in homage to Chantérac, his hometown, he baptized his biscotterie “La Chanteracoise”.
