CURIOUS FACTS
There are many different stories about the origins of Taralli, from more imaginative to more likely ones. Like many other Italian iconic food products, taralli were prepared for the first time by chance in 15th century. According to the most widespread story, a woman lacked food for her children, so decided to put together and cook all the ingredients she had: flour, salt, oil and white wine. First, she made thin strips from the dough and then she gave them the form of rings and baked them. The recipe has been edited and improved over time. For example, a further step has been added in order to make Taralli crispier and crubly: boiling taralli in water and oil before baking them.
