Biscuits are an ancient recipe, characterized by strong presence of honey (originally) or the sugar (more recently) and are completely baked in the oven: this made them storable for long periods. Biscuits are usually made of flour, egg, butter, sugar, yeast and possibly ammonia and various herbs. The word biscuit comes from the Latin "Bis Coctum" or baked twice. In fact, originally they consisted of bread slices, cooked twice in the oven in order to make them more crumbly, crunchy and durable over time. Of course, with the evolution of the culinary knowledge and the mutual trade, which introduced new ingredients, biscuit’s recipes were enriched with sesame, chickpeas, cheese, and sweetened with raisins, figs, honey.Italy has a long tradition in the production of biscuits, so that today the large scale industrial production has increased. The most famous brands are Mulino Bianco, whose leading products are Pan di Stelle, Baiocchi and Abbracci; moreover, Pavesi with Gocciole and Togo; Galbusera with Magretti, Riso su Riso; Oro Saiwa with Oro Ciock
