Matilde Vicenzi Ladyfingers: Authentic Italian Savoiardi for Tiramisu
This collection brings together Matilde Vicenzi's Vicenzovo Ladyfinger biscuits, the Italian Savoiardi trusted for classic tiramisu, charlottes, trifles, and layered desserts. It includes the Classic Ladyfinger in 400g and 200g, along with a Strawberry Ladyfinger in 200g for a fruit-forward twist on the traditional biscuit.
These biscuits are made in Italy using a recipe that has stayed unchanged for over a century, built around flour, sugar, and 26% fresh eggs. The result is a light, airy, sponge-like biscuit that holds its shape when soaked in coffee or liqueur, making it the standard choice for home bakers and dessert enthusiasts who want an authentic tiramisu base.
Shop this collection if you are looking for genuine Italian ladyfingers rather than a generic substitute, whether you are making your first tiramisu or restocking a pantry staple for regular dessert making.
Collection Overview
Every product in this collection is a Vicenzovo Ladyfinger biscuit by Matilde Vicenzi, distinguished by an elongated shape, a delicate sugar-dusted top, and a light, airy crumb. They share the same base recipe and baking method, with the Strawberry variant adding a sweet fruit flavour to the classic profile.
The core benefit across the range is texture: a biscuit that is crisp enough to hold its structure but absorbent enough to soak up coffee, liqueur, or fruit syrup without turning soggy or falling apart during layering.
These ladyfingers are typically used for tiramisu, charlotte cakes, trifles, dessert cups, and layered puddings. They also work as a standalone snack alongside tea or coffee, though their primary use case in Indian kitchens is as a dessert-building ingredient.
Why Shop This Collection
Authentic Italian Origin
Made in Italy by Matilde Vicenzi, a brand that has baked ladyfinger biscuits since 1905, so you get the genuine Savoiardi rather than a locally adapted version.
Certified Savoiardi
Vicenzovo was the first ladyfinger brand certified under Italian confectionery law (Art. 4, 2005), which reserves the term Savoiardo for biscuits with a specific shape and texture.
Traditional Recipe
The recipe has been preserved for more than a century and is made with 26% fresh eggs, without relying on shortcuts to reach that light, spongy texture.
Certified Quality
The range is certified by IFS (International Featured Standard) and OU Kosher Dairy, and is produced GMO-free.
Built for Layering
The airy, structured crumb absorbs coffee or liqueur evenly without breaking apart, which is essential for tiramisu and other layered desserts.
Format Choice
Available in a 400g pouch for regular dessert-making and a 200g pouch for occasional use or smaller batches, in both classic and strawberry flavour.
Featured Product Types
Classic Ladyfinger (400g, 200g)
The original Vicenzovo recipe made with flour, sugar, and 26% fresh eggs. Suited to anyone making traditional tiramisu, charlotte cakes, or coffee-soaked desserts. The 400g pack suits frequent bakers, while the 200g pack suits occasional or single-batch use.
Strawberry Ladyfinger (200g)
The same elongated, airy biscuit infused with a sweet strawberry flavour. Suited to bakers who want to make a strawberry tiramisu, fruit-based cheesecake, or dessert cups with a fruity twist, or anyone who wants a lighter snack alongside tea or coffee.
About Matilde Vicenzi
The Original Italian Ladyfingers for Tiramisu
Matilde Vicenzi has baked Vicenzovo Ladyfinger biscuits in Verona since 1905, and the recipe has remained unchanged for over a century: just flour, sugar, and 26% fresh eggs. The result is a biscuit that is crisp on the outside and delicately spongy inside, the exact texture needed for a traditional tiramisu.
Under Italian confectionery law (Art. 4, 2005), the term Savoiardo is reserved for biscuits with a specific elongated shape, soft and airy texture, and a fine sugar-dusted top. Vicenzovo was the first ladyfinger brand to earn this certification, which is why it remains a reference point for authentic Italian Savoiardi.
A traditional tiramisu needs ladyfingers that hold their shape when soaked in coffee or liqueur while staying soft and airy once layered with mascarpone cream. Vicenzovo is built for that balance, absorbing moisture evenly without crumbling.
Buying Guide
Use this guide to pick the right pack for how often, and how, you bake.
| You are | Recommended product | Why |
| Making tiramisu for the first time | Classic Ladyfinger 200g | A smaller pack to try the classic Vicenzovo texture before committing to a larger size. |
| Baking tiramisu or charlotte cakes regularly | Classic Ladyfinger 400g | Larger pouch suited to frequent dessert-making, keeping biscuits fresh and ready to use. |
| Wanting a fruit-forward dessert or lighter snack | Strawberry Ladyfinger 200g | Same airy texture with a sweet strawberry flavour, suited to strawberry tiramisu or standalone snacking. |
Because these biscuits are light and airy by design, keep the pouch sealed and stored in a cool, dry place once opened, so the biscuits stay crisp until you are ready to use them in a dessert.
