Black Olive Grissini

Hand-twisted breadsticks

Baked in a small Piemonte bakery in the same elegantly-twisted local style as our classic Grissini, we’ve added local-grown Ligurian olives (called Kalamata) 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.

Ingredients

Wheat flour, maize flour 19%, black olives 8%, extra virgin olive oil 8%, sea salt, malted wheat flour, yeast.

For allergens, see ingredients in bold. May contain traces of soya, sesame and mustard seed. Suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians.

CAUTION: may contain olive stones.

ITALIAN INGREDIENTS

When it comes to eating, we don’t settle for anything less than ingredienti eccezionali. Gathered from growers, artisans and culinary appassionati across Italia, from Tropea to Torino. Prepared with respect and care.

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.

DID YOU KNOW?

Grissini originate from Turin in Italy’s northwest, and they’re believed to date back to the 17th century, when they were first baked for Duke Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy. The duke was suffering from digestive problems and demanded something easy — but still delicious and moreish — to eat.
