"Grissini" – A 400 years long history

In the heart of Piedmont, 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. Antonio Brunero, a baker, invented grissini for the delicate constitution of prince Vittorio Amedeo II. Brunero crafted 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. During performances at the theatre, the nobles and bourgeoisie followed the Savoy example. They theirselves "exported" the tapered bread, making grissini known worldwide.
