If you have ever been to the Apulia region, you will certainly have heard of Taralli. They are a specialty (usually savoury) biscuit that have a very typical shape of a little knot.


The origin of the taralli recipe goes back to 1400. Legend has it that the first tarallo was kneaded by a mother who, having nothing to feed her children, tried to work what she had in her pantry: flour, extra virgin olive oil, salt, white wine. I will share the classic savoury version soon, but here is a modified, less traditional but incredibly delicious, sweet version of the taralli.
