What is Taralli?
Taralli is one of the favorite snacks of the southern regions of Italy. In fact, The New York Times likens Taralli to the potato chips of America; they are the defining cultural snack. Somewhat similar to breadsticks, Taralli are round coils of dough made with flour, water, olive oil, and white wine. They are simple snacks, usually flavored with pepper, fennel seeds, or just olive oil.
