Abbracci Mulino Bianco biscuits

Abbracci are iconic Italian shortbread cookies produced under the Mulino Bianco brand. They are characterized by their unique shape, featuring two interlocking rings - one flavored with cream and the other with cocoa - symbolizing a 'hug' (Abbraccio). They have been a staple of the Italian breakfast landscape since their introduction in the late 1980s.

The brand Mulino Bianco was created in 1974 by the historic Italian pasta makers, Barilla, to diversify their offerings into the bakery and snack sector. Today, the brand remains an integral part of the Barilla Group, which is one of the world's leading food companies. Abbracci are primarily manufactured in Italy across several of Barilla's specialized bakery plants, ensuring the heritage and quality of the traditional Italian recipe is maintained.

While Mulino Bianco operates globally, the brand is firmly rooted in Italian culinary culture. The ultimate owner, Barilla G. e R. Fratelli S.p.A., remains a family-owned enterprise headquartered in Parma, Italy, maintaining a commitment to regional production and sustainable agriculture practices.
