Fennel Taralli: An Authentic and Artisan Taste Experience

Fennel taralli are a masterpiece of the Apulian culinary tradition, combining the fragrance and crunchiness typical of taralli with the unmistakable aroma of fennel seeds. These delicious snacks are perfect for any occasion: ideal to enjoy on their own as a snack, excellent as an accompaniment for an aperitif, or as the perfect complement to a platter of cold cuts and fresh cheeses.

Our production of fennel taralli stands out for the attention to the quality of ingredients and for the artisanal process that respects the ancient Apulian traditions. We use ancient durum wheat semolina Saragolla and ancient soft wheat flour Maiorca, grown in the pristine fields of the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, just a few steps from the sea. These ingredients, combined with extra virgin olive oil, white wine, and a pinch of salt, are processed artisanally in a renowned tarallificio (taralli factory) in Trani, an area famous for its mastery in producing taralli.

Each phase of production, from kneading to baking, is carried out by hand, ensuring a final product that preserves all the goodness and authenticity of the Apulian tradition. Without preservatives, yeast, or added aromas, our fennel taralli are a healthy and genuine choice for those looking for a high-quality product.

The Tradition of Fennel Taralli

Origins and History

Taralli are one of the oldest and most beloved snacks in Apulian culinary tradition. Originally created as a humble food, made with a few simple ingredients available in peasant households, taralli have evolved over time to become a symbol of Apulian gastronomy. The addition of fennel seeds gave birth to a variant particularly appreciated for its distinctive aroma and digestive properties.

Authentic and Selected Ingredients

The quality of our fennel taralli is guaranteed by the careful selection of ingredients. We use only Saragolla durum wheat semolina and Maiorca soft wheat flour, two varieties of ancient grains that give the taralli a unique flavor and a crunchy texture. Extra virgin olive oil, white wine, and fennel seeds add unmistakable aromas and fragrances, while the salt is carefully measured to enhance the flavor without overpowering it.

Artisanal Process

The production of our fennel taralli follows traditional methods passed down from generation to generation. The ingredients are kneaded by hand, and once the dough is ready, the taralli are cut and shaped manually. After a brief immersion in boiling water, which makes them particularly crunchy, the taralli are baked in the oven until golden brown. This artisanal process ensures a finished product of the highest quality, preserving all the flavor and authenticity of the Apulian tradition.
