Product: Taralluci are sweet light shortcrust biscuits made with fresh free-range eggs and traditionally enjoyed at breakfast. "Tarallucci" translates to small taralli, which are a type of Italian cracker or biscuit, sweet or savoury. The term is often used in the Italian idiom "finire a tarallucci e vino" (to end with tarallucci and wine), which means "all's well that ends well", or that a dispute has been resolved peacefully, often over food and drink.
