Biscotti Tumminello
Tumminello biscuits — handmade in Castelbuono, Sicily, since 1977. Authentic taste, timeless quality.
Overview
Founded in 1977 by the Tumminello family in Castelbuono, a medieval town nestled in the Madonie mountains of Sicily, Biscotti Tumminello produces handmade biscuits using traditional methods and local ingredients. Today, it is a growing artisanal brand known for preserving taste, authenticity, and craftsmanship across generations.
The Challenge
The client needed a website that could match the soul of their product — rooted in tradition but evolving into a modern, international brand. The site had to communicate authenticity while showcasing a growing catalogue of products, the family’s story, and the production process behind every biscuit.
Additionally, the company wanted to present a warm, elegant digital identity while being easy to update and extend as their brand continued to grow.
The Solution
I led the full development process and crafted a website that reflects the warmth and heritage of Tumminello:
- Custom product pages to highlight each biscuit’s story, ingredients, and flavor profile
- A dynamic backend allowing the client to easily manage collections, news, and store locations
- Lightweight frontend focused on performance, loading speed, and mobile optimization
- SEO and metadata structured to support regional and international discoverability
Your Role
I handled everything — from the initial client discovery and branding exploration to design, development, testing, and deployment. I collaborated directly with the client to extract key stories and ensure the site respected their legacy while allowing for modern scalability.
