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 also prepared for the first time by chance. The most widespread story, whose origins lie in the 15th century, goes that a woman in lack of food for her children, decided to put together and cook all the ingredients she had in her pantry: 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.
Nobody knows the specific etymology of the word ‘tarallo’, but there are several theories. The most famous ones suggest that the word could come from:
- the Latin word ‘torrere’, meaning to toast
- the combination of ‘tar’, from Italian, with ‘danal’, from French, referring to a rolled bread typical of the areas beyond the Alps.
- the French word ‘toral’, meaning to dry
- the Greek word ‘daratos’ used to indicate baked products similar to taralli.
PROCESSING
Taralli are a traditional Apulian snack and they have the shape of medium-small rings. The ingredients of the original recipe are very simple: flour, extra-virgin olive oil and white wine.
The preparation of traditional Apulian taralli involves just a few simple steps. The first fundamental step consists in carefully choosing genuine, high-quality raw materials. These are mixed together until they form an elastic dough, which is then divided into 8cm-long sticks whose extremities are overlapped creating 1cm-diameter rings.
Finally, they are double-cooked: first in boiling water and oil until they rise to the surface and then in the oven for about half an hour.
Many manufacturers add spices or seasonings to the traditional dough to give their products special aromas.
This type of taralli is manufactured with Extra-virgin olive oil.
