4-15 €Turin breadsticks (Rubatà or stirati) in Turin
Turin breadsticks are thin sticks of dry bread, crunchy and very crumbly, born in Torino in the 17th century. The most common version is the "stirata", long and slender, while rubatà are shorter, thicker, and hand‑rolled, with a slightly irregular shape. They are made with simple ingredients – flour, water, yeast, salt, and often olive oil or lard – and baked until golden and fragrant. In Torino they are traditionally served in restaurants before meals and accompany cured meats, cheeses, and classic Piedmontese appetizers.
