Taralli (sg.: tarallo) are toroidal Italian snack foods, common in the southern Italy.[1] Wheat-based crackers similar in texture to breadsticks,[2] taralli can be sweet or savory.[3]
Overview
[edit]Taralli are classically formed into rings or ovals about 10 to 12.5 cm (3.9 to 4.9 in) in circumference. Smaller taralli, called tarallini, with a circumference of 3.8 to 7.8 cm (1.5 to 3.1 in), are sold commercially. According to Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, "Sweets such as biscotti and taralli used to be reserved for Christmas and Easter; in Roseto they were eaten year-round."[4]
