Zaeti — authentic souvenir of Venice€5-€15

Zaeti in Venice

Zaeti (also called Zaleti in Venetian dialect) are dry biscuits typical of the culinary tradition of Venezia and the lagoon’s pastry heritage. They have a distinctive yellow color due to the use of fine cornmeal flour, which gives them a slightly grainy and crumbly texture, while raisins or pine nuts add sweetness and aroma.
