Piedmontese Breadsticks (Grissini)

Al-Ahsa,
Saudi Arabia

Invented in the XVII century in Turin, In the past the grissini were an answer to poverty and a good example of selling techniques: the cost of one small loaf of bread was a cent, a lot for the poor, not enough for the producer. The solution came from stretching the dough at arm's length in order to have a new type of bread: same cost, lesser weight.

Breads of the Creative Cities, the first inter-cluster project of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, launched in 2018 by the Creative Knowledge Foundation in partnership with Tucson UCC, celebrates the diversity of local staple foods through bread as a symbol of cultural identity. It showcases stories, traditions, and practices from Creative Cities worldwide, giving voice to bakers, millers, and farmers.
