The Tradition of Chili Pepper Taralli

Origins and History

Taralli are a Puglian specialty with ancient roots, dating back centuries. Originally created as a simple food made with basic ingredients available in farmhouses, taralli have evolved over time to become a symbol of Puglian cuisine. The addition of chili pepper gave birth to chili pepper taralli, a variation that combines the traditional crispiness of taralli with a touch of spiciness that excites the palate.

Authentic and Selected Ingredients

The quality of our chili pepper 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 crisp texture. Extra virgin olive oil, white wine, and chili pepper enrich the product with intense aromas and irresistible fragrances, while the salt is carefully measured to enhance the flavor without overwhelming it.

Artisan Production

The production of our chili pepper taralli follows traditional methods passed down through generations. 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 crispy, the taralli are baked until golden brown. This artisanal process guarantees a finished product of the highest quality, preserving all the flavor and authenticity of the Puglian tradition.

Characteristics and Benefits of Chili Pepper Taralli

Our chili pepper taralli stand out for their unique flavor and crispy texture. The combination of Saragolla durum wheat semolina and Maiorca soft wheat flour creates a perfect balance between fragrance and delicacy, while the extra virgin olive oil, white wine, and chili pepper enrich the product with intense aromas and irresistible fragrances.

Thanks to the use of natural, high-quality ingredients, our chili pepper taralli are not only delicious but also healthy.

Extra virgin olive oil, in turn, is a valuable source of unsaturated fats that help maintain heart health. Chili pepper, known for its antioxidant and digestive properties, adds further nutritional benefits, making these taralli a healthy and complete snack.

Our chili pepper taralli are made without the addition of preservatives, yeast, or artificial flavors. This makes them a genuine and natural product, ideal for those looking for a healthy and authentic snack.

How to Store Taralli

To maintain the fragrance and crispiness of chili pepper taralli, it’s important to store them properly. After opening the package, it’s recommended to place the taralli in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture. This will help preserve their freshness and flavor for several weeks.

Chili pepper taralli, if stored under ideal conditions, have a shelf life of several months. However, to fully enjoy their quality and freshness, it’s recommended to consume them within two or three weeks of opening the package.

Chili pepper taralli are extremely versatile and lend themselves to many pairings. Perfect as a snack on their own, they are also ideal for accompanying an aperitif, perhaps with a good glass of white or rosé wine.
