Neapolitan Taralli with Extra Almonds - 500 gr

The Neapolitan Taralli Sugna e Pepe Extra Mandorlati (or to put it in the Neapolitan way taralli 'nzogna e pepe) are typical Neapolitan dry savory biscuits, their peculiarity lies in the combination of the sweet taste of almonds combined with the spicy flavor of pepper. These taralli have an ancient history, when bakers braided leftover bread to which they added suet and pepper and made biscuits, so as not to throw away the leftovers. Since the 19th century, almonds have been added to the classic nzogna and pepper taralli and it is under this guise that these Neapolitan taralli are known today. A classic is to eat them sitting on the rocks looking at the sea accompanied by a nice cold beer on summer evenings. But they are also great on winter evenings, perhaps after dinner when you feel like munching on something.
