Chilli Crostini

Savoury bread bites

Our Crostini (‘little crusts’ in Inglese) are labours of love for our artisan bakers in Italy. They firstly craft a long Filone loaf, cut it into smaller slices which are drizzled with chilli-infused oil and baked again until they’re light and crisp. Only when the Crostini are perfectly light and crisp do they emerge from the oven.

Delicious as a stand-alone snack, served straight up — especially with a chilled and refreshing beer for company — they’re also fantastic for adding a little crumbly, crunchy Italian flavour to salads and soups, or topped with fresh and delicious ingredients and served as a pre-dinner antipasti.

Ingredients

Wheat flour, maize flour, olive oil 15%, salt, yeast, chilli 0.85%, malted wheat flour.

ITALIAN INGREDIENTS

When it comes to eating, we don’t settle for anything less than ingredienti eccezionali. Gathered from growers, artisans and culinary appassionati across Italia, from Tropea to Torino. Prepared with respect and care.

Our Packaging

Our Crostini are packaged in a bag made from polypropylene film (European code #05). Few local authorities in the UK are able to accept this alongside other kerbside domestic recycling collections. It can be recycled alongside carrier bags in large supermarkets.

DID YOU KNOW

The history of Crostini is much-debated, but many believe they predate Ancient Roman times — and were used by poor Italian peasants as edible ‘plates’ for their main meal.
