Taralli (sg.: tarallo) are toroidal Italian snack foods, common in the southern Italy. Wheat-based crackers similar in texture to breadsticks, taralli can be sweet or savory.

Overview

Taralli are classically formed into rings or ovals about 10 to 12.5 cm (3.9 to 4.9 in) in circumference. Smaller taralli, called tarallini, with a circumference of 3.8 to 7.8 cm (1.5 to 3.1 in), are sold commercially. According to Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, "Sweets such as biscotti and taralli used to be reserved for Christmas and Easter; in Roseto they were eaten year-round."
