You CAN taste the fennel- crunchy then smooth-fab!
These are wonderful! They are crunchy to start with (but not tooth breakingly hard and I'm in my 60's!) Once you've chewed them to dispel the initial crunchiness they break down in the mouth to a smooth paste which is a lovely texture and taste, then the fennel flavour comes through and they really "pop"! So delicious and not an E number in sight 10/10! To be savoured, do try them!
A bit dry
Was expecting good things after reading the reviews but although the flavour was nice, they were a bit dry. Did not end up serving them to my guests.
Antipasti nibble heaven, yum yum x
I had these on an italian platter at Veenos and have been searching for them everywhere. For the ill informed these are a flavoured twisted breadstick nibble. Despite some reviews they are actually much lighter in texture than what I had in the restaurant and very light. Far lighter than a breadstick. I had these with Gorgonzola DOP blue cream, Olives, Sundried tomatoes and they are he best antipasti ever. Make a great alternative to an Italian antipasti platter .. Dangerous as I could eat the whole bag x
The perfect sophisticated evening snack!
I absolutely love these! They are the perfect snack. The fennel flavour is subtle, but just right. I love the crunchiness too. As another reviewer also said, I could eat the whole box to myself (in one sitting 😬). Great with dips and a glass of wine. Highly recommended!
I'm normally not a big of savoury snacks, but I ha
I'm normally not a big of savoury snacks, but I had to buy these again. They have a biscuity texture, a bit like grissini. Slightly hard at first bite but definitely doesn't need a sledeghammer as another reviewer finds. The fennel taste isn't super strong, but I find it just right - every now and then you do bite on a fennel seed, so the flavour builds up. More would be overpowering if you eat more than just a couple (and that's the whole point of snacks, after all). Perfect with a glass of red wine.
A good snack
I love this brand so gave these a try. They are crunchy, bitesize, moreish with a sublte flavour, all signs of a good snack. Just be careful not to eat so many, you put yourself off them like me!
Something Italian
Great ! We love them ! Will buy again
Rock hard
From the description and previous reviews I was expecting a good, very crunchy snack. The pack I got was full of biscuits that were teeth-breakingly hard. The taste, what little I was able to sample after using the proverbial sledgehammer, was very nice but I won't be buying again as I value both my teeth and sledgehammer.
I ate the whole box to myself.
These are honestly so good! The box size is good for sharing with 2-3 people but I ate the whole box to myself. Now I just snack on them while working.
Delicious
Something a bit different. Crunchy but slightly soft inside. Almost sweet and biscuity in taste. I love them with houmous and prosecco.
