Breadsticks with olives and rosemary are the embodiment of Italian culinary art, a harmony of crispy dough, aromatic rosemary, and rich olive flavor. Their history roots back to the tradition of making grissini, famous Italian breadsticks. These appetizing sticks are perfect for an aperitif, as an addition to a cheese platter, or simply as a light snack. The spicy rosemary gives them a fresh, herbal note while the olives add a pleasant saltiness. They can be dipped in olive oil or served with dips to enhance the flavor and enjoyment of each crunchy piece. Easy to make, they carry the warmth of Italian cuisine and will be a wonderful addition to any table.
