The “corolli incesi" or simply “corolli” are traditional biscuits of our
territory, specifically of the village of Castagneto Carducci. In the
past they were served in engagement parties but are now available
practically all year round and given as gifts during the holidays.
These
biscuits, with their distinctive shape, take their name for the "cuts"
that are made in the dough during the preparation process.
They
are fragrant and rich in flavor and aniseed. They are mad with few and
simple ingredients: flour, sugar, anise, eggs, extra virgin olive oil
and a pinch of salt..
The corolli participate in the event
"Castagneto a Tavola" which takes place every year in Castagneto
Carducci in the first week of May.
