Organic Sesame Grissini
What it is
These are thin, crispy breadsticks made with organic ingredients and a generous coating of sesame seeds. They originate from the Liguria region of Italy, known for its traditional baking methods. The dough is typically leavened and then stretched by hand before baking to achieve their characteristic elongated shape and satisfying crunch. The organic certification ensures that the ingredients used are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to specific agricultural standards.
