Can you post the recipe you're using?  And a description of what's in that biscotti (I've not heard of it - but I'm in Boston which could be why ;))

 

I myself like biscotti recipes that are oil based; I've found they are less brittle than ones with butter.  I can control the dryness with baking (time and temp).  For the second bake, I just line the cut slices up on the sheet pan (separated by an inch or so) and bake that way; no turning them over half way as some recipes recommend.

I found an article about the owner's daughter, who now runs her own biscotti business. Specifically they make them in an italian style called biscotti di prato. googling that gave me this LA times recipe; you might try there:
