Sweet taralli, grandma’s recipe, are the typical sweets to serve during holidays.

Every time I prepare them, I’m reminded of the rich lunches with my grandparents, who loved them very much.

Sweet taralli are closely tied to religious festivities and special occasions, such as weddings, Christmas, baptisms, or Easter celebrations. They are considered a symbol of hospitality and generosity, often offered to guests with a glass of sweet wine or liqueur.

They are distinguished by their shape and fragrance.

Many sweet taralli recipes were never written down until recently. They were passed down orally from generation to generation, and each family had their own version, making sweet taralli a true symbol of local identity.

In the past, in rural areas, they were often consumed with a glass of cooked wine or freshly milked milk.

Each tarallo tells a story: from the patience of the hands that shape it to the aromas that bring back memories of grandmothers’ kitchens, like mine.
