You will agree that the best snacks are those that are simple yet wholesome and delicious! From Southern Italy, we bring you Taralli. Taralli are small ring shaped salted/savoury biscuits but with a difference – using only the best Apulia raw material: extra virgin oil, dry white wine and flour and typical Mediterranean ingredients (sea salt, anchovies, olives, mushrooms, smoked ham etc) in small quantities to enhance the taste and delight the consumer.  

Produced by Fiore di Puglia (Flower of Apulia – and a play on the name of its founder – Giuseppe Fiore), this artisan product is a typical baked Apulian product.  Fiore’s Taralli is sold in Italy and abroad – they are on the shelves of the most important American and European supermarket chains and also in Japan (where they have been acclaimed as one of the three best Italian products introduced recently).

Taralli should err on the dry and crumbly side, and they should properly contain wine in the dough recipe. There are the Taralli Classici, the savory sort, for classic cracker use. They make yummy snacks on their own, and are delightful in soup as well. This particular style does not have any herbal flavor component, having been made simply with olive oil, flour and salt, in addition to yeast and wine.  Then, you can combine the Taralli Classici with any number of Mediterranean ingredients to produce other delightful flavours.
