Alessi Garlic Breadsticks, Pack of 6 (4.4 oz Each)

Alessi Garlic Grissini — Authentic Turin-Style Breadsticks | Pack of 6 (4.4 oz Each)

Grissini originated in Turin, Italy in 1679 — and the history behind them is unusually specific. Duke Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy suffered from digestive problems as a child, and his court physician Antonio Brunero commissioned the local baker Angiolina to develop a more digestible bread than the traditional dense Piedmontese loaf. The solution was to roll and stretch the dough into thin rods and bake them until completely dry — producing an ultra-low-moisture stick with no soft crumb to ferment in the stomach. The technique worked: grissini became a staple of Piedmontese cuisine and eventually spread across Italy and Europe. Alessi's Grissini Torinesi follow the same principle: wheat flour, garlic, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), yeast, salt, and malt — no unnecessary additives. The EVOO contributes oleocanthal and oleacein, polyphenols that inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes (the same anti-inflammatory pathway as ibuprofen, at lower but meaningful doses). Product of Italy. GMO-free. Pack of 6 × 4.4 oz.
