Camporelli[1] or biscotti Camporelli, is a light biscuit made with three ingredients--flour, sugar, and eggs--and then baked twice. They are characterized by their round, long shape, crispy edges, and golden color, as well as the lack of fat, such as butter.[2] They are used in various tiramisu recipes, served with ice cream or eaten alone.

## History[edit]

City of Novara

The predecessor of biscotti Camporelli was the biscottini di Novara, created by the nuns of the area and given to the clergy as gifts.[3] Biscotti Camporelli was developed by Luigi Camporelli in Novara in 1852, resuming the previous tradition and commercializing it, selling it in the family bakery.
