Davide Barbero Rubatà Breadsticks with Extra Dark Chocolate

A wonderfully Piemontese meeting of savoury and sweet. Traditional Grissini Rubatà, known for their rustic rolled shape and crisp texture, are generously coated in Davide Barbero’s rich extra dark chocolate. The producer describes the combination as the meeting of two Piemontese specialities: regional grissini and chocolate.

Made by Davide Barbero in Asti, a family confectioner with roots stretching back to the 19th century, these deceptively simple breadsticks bring together two of Piemonte’s great food traditions.

After Dinner Italian Chocolate Treats

The bittersweet chocolate gives way to a light, crisp breadstick underneath, with just enough savoury character to balance the richness of the coating.

Excellent with an espresso after dinner, alongside a glass of dessert wine, or simply straight from the box when something chocolatey — but a little different — is called for.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
