ParmesanPoppy Seed Torinesi
A delicious twist on traditional Torinesi, these thin and delicate breadsticks are a familiar sight on trattoria tables across Italy. For a richer, nuttier flavour we’ve added Parmigiano Reggiano and poppy seeds to the classic recipe — creating an ideal pre-dinner nibble that’s best enjoyed with a glass of something chilled.
Aperitivo Snacks
A delicious twist on a famous Italian snack
Often found in Italian trattorias — where you’ll find them in paper sleeves or bread baskets, ready to be snapped and snacked upon — Torinesi are a Turin speciality that have become popular the world over.
Made in traditional fashion from just a handful of ingredients, our bakers in Italy cut the dough and stretch it by hand — and this patient process gives each snack its characteristic texture, and ensures that no two Torinesi are ever exactly alike.
Designed to be eaten as they are rather than wrapped or dipped like their more robust relations, Grissini, they’re an historic snack fit for any occasion.
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 Torinesi 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.
