Biscotto is derived from bis (twice) and cotto (cooked). Originally, these cookies were twice-baked so they could be stored for long periods of time. Because of this storage potential, they historically were used by explorers and soldiers. The shelf-life of biscotti is three to four months without preservatives in an airtight container.
