"Ciriole" Grape Must Baguettes - 10 Pack

The Romans did “zero waste” long before the modern world took up the cause! Food meant survival, so nothing was discarded. After pressing grapes for making wine, Roman bakers would often use the pulp and skins, known as “must,” for breads called mustacei. Drawing on the writings of Cato the Elder, and the traditional Roman bread form called the ‘ciriola’, this sweet and savory bread is shaped like a mini-baguette and promises to be a repeat order!
