The origins of breadsticks date back to 1679 when a baker named Brunero Antonio, from Turin Italy was faced with the task of developing a bread suitable for the sick child of a king. Through much trial and error, Mr. Antonio developed a crisp and delicate finger of bread that we recognize today as breadsticks. Our imported Alessi Breadsticks are made with the same grissine torinese (Turin style) recipe of centuries ago. We use only the highest quality ingredients, including our own Alessi extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy Alessi Breadsticks in four different flavors as an anytime snack.
