Grissini, as they are known in Italian are crisp bread breadsticks, made from plain dough, and placed on the table with apertivos, for guests to nibble on. They were invented in late 17th century by one of the royal courts chef to accommodate the needs of king Vittorio Amedeo II who suffered from bad health conditions and had problems digesting bread. Breadsticks are therefore a lighter and had the great commodity of lasting for weeks compared to a few days of bread. Soon the grissino became a staple and nowadays is found and consumed all over Italy. Casa Vecchio Mulino started in the district of Torino in 1860, when the first bakery was opened by Great-Great-Grandfather Giacomo. He became famous in the area for his breadsticks. Casa Vecchio Mulino uses the best quality ingredients, a natural and slow rising of the dough, handmade processing, and slow baking to produce breadsticks that are crispy, golden and full of flavor.
