Black Olive Grissini
Baked in a small Piemonte bakery in the same elegantly-twisted local style as our classic Grissini, we’ve added two types of local-grown Ligurian olives to the original recipe — creating a crisp, authentically Italian nibble that’s delicious wrapped up in prosciutto or served solo with drinks for a simple aperitivo.

A rich twist on traditional Grissini
Wonderfully thin and crisp with a distinctively twisted rubata finish, these Piemonte-made Italian nibbles add Riviera and Taggiasca olives from neighbouring Liguria to our classic Grissini recipe.
Crafted with just a handful of ingredients — olives, extra virgin olive oil, soft flour and golden maize for a little extra snap in each bite — our artisan bakers lay the dough for each breadstick by hand, in small trays measuring just 60cm by 40cm.
For a purer taste, we use olives kept in olive oil (a little of which makes it into the recipe), and only add the fruits themselves at the last moment, to prevent them from being mulched in the dough and turning the breadsticks grey.
The result is a beautifully-textured snack with beautiful flavour notes and aromas of fresh olives. Ottimo!
Quality ingredients
For 13 years and counting, we’ve travelled far and wide across Italy in search of homegrown ingredients and recipes that capture the country’s passionate, convivial spirit in all its delicious glory — because we believe that nothing brings people together like good food, shared.
Our packaging
Our Grissini are packaged in a polypropylene film (European code #05) that sits within a cardboard box. The cardboard box is widely recycled in kerbside domestic collections. However, few local authorities in the UK are able to accept the film bag in the local council recycling centre, although it can be recycled alongside carrier bags in large supermarkets.
