Biscotti regina (lit. 'queen's biscuits') or reginelle are small Sicilian biscuits, coated with sesame seeds. They are typical of the province of Palermo but are also widespread in other Sicilian provinces. These cakes taste halfway between sweet and salty (savoury), reminiscent of their roots Arab cuisine.[2][3]
