Description
Primitivo, the red wine of Puglia, worked into a crunchy biscuit with dark chocolate.
The dough is soft wheat flour, sugar, Primitivo wine at 20% and olive oil, with dark chocolate drops at 10%, baking powder and vanillin. The dough uses olive oil as its only fat. The pieces are rolled in sugar before baking, which gives them their sparkling crust.
For restaurants and chefs. The wine and chocolate pairing makes these an easy match for a glass of Primitivo or a passito offered at the end of dinner. A few pieces next to coffee give the bill tray something local to talk about. Broken up, they add crunch to a chocolate mousse or a ricotta cream.
For specialty and Italian stores. Wine biscuits made with a named Italian grape variety give the shelf a story staff can tell in one sentence. The chocolate drops widen the appeal beyond the classic wine biscuit buyer. Place them near Puglia wines for a ready-made gift pairing.
Specs: 250 g, case of 12, shelf life 5 months, Puglia (Italy).
