MITICATaralli Cacio E Pepe, 8.81 OZ

If you like Taralli, then you should give these a try. The cheese and pepper flavors are subtle and not over powering. I enjoy them as a change from the standard Mitica Taralli.

When we were it Italy and we sat for aperitif hour (when in Rome, right) they served these little crackers. I had to go to a shop in Florence to find them. I brought them home and to my delight they were here to purchase! SO SO GOOD. So many flavors too! Taste of Italy and love them!

I enjoyed how fresh they were and it had the perfect amount of pepper. Really very good. A bit pricey though.

I like taralli and wanted to try a new Cacio E Pepe variety. But about 50% of the taralli in the package I purchased verged on overcooked, being a darker brown, and slightly bitter. The lighter (assuming correctly baked) ones were very tasty. Looks like a quality control issue to me.

These are a simple but elegant cocktail snack.

Flavor was good. Freshness ok. Texture was a bit chalky, not dry and hard like a snack pretzel. Also, wasn’t particularly fond of the loose/larger twist. Not as appetizing looking as others I’ve had that are a little smaller like a miniature bagel.

Ate them

Purchased product with no specific time to open and eat. Did not think that when I opened them they would expire so quickly. They were a week from expiring when I opened and they tasted stale. Beware of expiration dates, return window was closed. Very disappointing.
