The Torcetti, once called Torchietti, are one of the most well-known pastries from Piedmont in our country. When a box of these dry pastries is opened, the room is filled with the aroma of goodness. The "Torchietti," as they were called in the 1700s due to their twisted shape, were already described in the book "Confetturiere Piemontese" published in 1790. In the "Treatise on Modern Cooking and Pastry" of 1854, Giovanni Vialardi, head chef to kings Charles Albert and Victor Emmanuel II, describes three recipes for torchietti derived from as many types of dough. One of these recipes is similar to the present one, but the most noticeable difference lies in the use of natural yeast instead of the beer yeast used today. Also, Sandro Doglio, in his "Dictionary of Gastronomy of Piedmont," after careful bibliographic research, cites Lanzo (Turin) as the probable hometown of the Torcetto. From 1800 onwards, the Torcetto becomes a true product of dry pastry.
The product is made and sent fresh, which is why it is purchased by reservation. Its shelf life is about 3 months, ensuring appropriate use over time while always maintaining its fragrance.

Lanzo's butter torcetti: use in the kitchen

The Torcetti di Lanzo are a gastronomic history of Piedmont, and we present them to you in their original version. Originally, they were considered sweet grissini made with bread dough and sugar, but they eventually became a pastry with the addition of aromatic mountain butter. Their flavor is very delicate and fragrant, with a distinct aromatic buttery sensation and a crumble typical of grissini. They are particularly enjoyable as a dessert or for a warm and comforting afternoon tea. The Torcetti di Lanzo tell the simple story of Piedmontese families who delighted their dinners with these cookies, served alongside whipped cream sprinkled with barley powder or with zabaglione. We suggest pairing them with sweet passito white wines or sparkling sweet Moscato.
