"Grissini" – A 400 years long history

In the heart of Piedmont, where the scent of freshly baked bread hangs in the air, there exists a slender delight that has graced tables for centuries: Grissini. These elegant breadsticks, like golden wands, tell a tale of innovation, nobility, and the artistry of simplicity. It's story date back to mid-1600 when Antonio Brunero, a baker from Lanzo Torinese, invented grissini for the delicate constitution of prince Vittorio Amedeo II. Brunero crafts an ingenious dough—water, flour, yeast, and salt—stretching it until it becomes paper-thin. The result? A bread devoid of crumb, gentle on the young prince’s stomach. The house of Savoy then transformed the breadstick into a beloved snack, munching on grissini during performances at the theatre. The curious eyes of nobles and bourgeoisie followed suit making grissini known worldwide.
