Caitie Allen was inspired by a trip to Italy to recreate the delicious treats she fell in love with in Florence. In the process of perfecting her version, she created soft-baked biscotti that were crisp and crunchy without being tooth-shatteringly hard. They could be eaten alone or dunked in a favorite coffee. The Biscaitie was born.

Caitie developed her vision for Biscaitie as a participant in the 2012 Kenneth A. Freirich Business Plan Competition.
