Frequently Asked Questions:
What are traditional Italian breadsticks?
Traditional Italian breadsticks are not the doughy soft breadsticks that you order from your local pizza shop. Authentic grissini breadsticks are thin and crispy, baked for that signature golden brown color and irresistible crunch. In Italy, the dough is made with wheat flour, yeast and warm water. Once the dough rises, bakers knead the dough and form long ropes. These are brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt and then baked.
What do Italians eat breadsticks with?
Italians eat breadsticks, also known as grissini, with everything from pasta dishes and salads to before-the-meal bites. Their delicate, golden brown crunch is an excellent accent to pasta recipes, leafy green salads, soups and more. Italian breadsticks are a simple appetizer and stand-alone snack, though they are often found to be paired up with other prized Italian antipasti like cured meats, both creamy and hard Italian cheeses, briny olives, marinated artichokes, bruschetta and more. A common way to serve Italian breadsticks is wrapped with prosciutto, alongside fresh mozzarella (drizzled with olive oil) and a glass of wine. Italian breadsticks can be flavored with herbs or sesame seeds too.
What is the difference between traditional Italian breadsticks and grissini breadsticks?
The difference between DeLallo Traditional Italian Breadsticks and DeLallo Grissini Breadsticks is in their shape. Our Grissini Breadsticks are handcrafted for a rustic wavy shape. Both are crispy, golden brown and baked with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt.
