What is Taralli cracker?
Taralli cracker is a crisp, usually ring-shaped savoury snack from southern Italy, especially associated with Puglia. The dough is commonly made with wheat flour and olive oil; wine, fennel seeds or black pepper may be added. In traditional preparation, the shaped rings are briefly boiled before baking, which helps give them their characteristic crunch.
In Italy, taralli are often set out with aperitivo or enjoyed between meals; elsewhere, they work much like a savoury biscuit alongside tea, coffee or a lunchbox. Their dry, crunchy texture pairs well with olives, cheese, dips and fresh vegetables. Made mainly from flour, they are carbohydrate-rich, with 72 g of carbohydrates per 100 g. A modest portion alongside something fresh or protein-rich makes a more satisfying snack.
