The origin of breadsticks dates back to 1679 in Turin Italy. During this time a Baker named Brunero Antonio 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, delicate finger of bread that we recognize today as breadsticks. Our imported Alessi Thin Breadsticks are made with the same grissine torinese (Turin style) recipe of centuries ago. We use only the highest quality ingredients in our Thin Breadsticks, including Alessi Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Enjoy Alessi Breadsticks in four different flavors.
