grissini
Also known as: Гризини
Hand-rolled Piedmontese breadsticks with olive oil, malt and a semolina coating.
About grissini
Grissini are the slender crisp breadsticks associated with Turin and Piedmont. This profile follows the Rubata style from Chieri, whose strips are rolled and stretched by hand rather than pulled into the straighter stirato form.
Wheat and semolina give the breadsticks a clean toasted-grain flavour, while extra-virgin olive oil adds gentle fruitiness and richness. Malt supports a faint sweetness and deeper baked aroma without turning the breadsticks into a sweet snack.
Rubata grissini are long, narrow and deliberately irregular, with lightly twisted ridges and a dry golden surface dusted by fine semolina. They snap cleanly and have a light, brittle crumb rather than a soft bread centre.
