Cat Tongue Biscuits (200g)

Biscoitos Línguas de Gato Confeitaria Alvorada

Delight in the light, airy crunch of Confeitaria Alvorada Cat Tongue Biscuits (Línguas de Gato). Named for their iconic, long, and slender profile that resembles a kitten’s tongue, these traditional sweet biscuits are an absolute staple in European bakeries and households.

Crafted by the historic Portuguese bakery Confeitaria Alvorada, these biscuits are baked to a pale golden perfection with delicately crisped edges. Offering a subtle sweetness, a buttery undercurrent, and a hint of spice, they feature a unique texture that breaks with a clean, satisfying snap before melting away smoothly on the palate. Packaged in a 200g bag, they are the quintessential sweet treat to keep on hand for guests, family snack times, or elegant dessert styling.
