Zaeti (also called Zaleti in the Venetian dialect) are traditional dry biscuits from the culinary heritage of Venezia and the lagoon’s pastry-making tradition. They are known for their distinctive yellow color, which comes from the use of fine cornmeal flour (farina di mais fioretto), giving them a slightly grainy and crumbly texture, while raisins or pine nuts add sweetness and aroma.
