Olivers & Co Grissini with Olive Oil

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Light, crisp, and perfectly golden, these grissini embody the essence of Italian baking. Each breadstick carries a delicate sheen from the olive oil, lending a subtle fruitiness and a whisper of sweetness to the dough. The flavor is elegant yet comforting—nutty, wheaty, and gently savory—making them as versatile as they are delicious. Their texture is slender and crisp, breaking with a satisfying snap that makes them irresistible as an aperitivo or accompaniment. The olive oil ensures a smooth, rounded mouthfeel that lingers softly, never oily, allowing the purity of ingredients to shine through. Each bite feels like a return to the simplicity of a family table in Northern Italy: freshly baked bread, a drizzle of olive oil, and a moment of unhurried pleasure.

Pairings and Suggestions

Aperitivo Essential: Pair with a chilled glass of Prosecco or dry white wine.

With Cheese & Charcuterie: Perfect with Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, or soft cheeses like Taleggio, Stracciatella, or Brie.

Dipping Delight: Serve with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, or a creamy artichoke or tomato spread.

Gourmet Snacking: Wrap with thin slices of speck or enjoy alongside olives and nuts for an elegant appetizer. For a refined twist, brush lightly with Laudemio olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt before serving warm.

The Italian Ritual of the Table

Grissini have been a symbol of Italian conviviality since the 17th century, originating in Turin as a delicate, digestible form of bread fit for royalty. Over time, they became a beloved staple of every Italian table—a gesture of hospitality and warmth. Oliviers & Co continues this heritage by enhancing the humble breadstick with fine extra virgin olive oil, transforming it into something refined yet rooted in tradition. In every slender piece lies the story of simplicity elevated: where patience, craft, and honest ingredients turn a small gesture into an everyday pleasure.
