About Torcetti al burro

Torcetti al Burro are traditional Italian treats originating from the Piedmont region, known for their delicate, buttery flavor and subtly sweet profile. These twisted cookies are made from a simple dough of flour, butter, sugar, and yeast, often enhanced with a touch of vanilla or lemon zest. Lightly coated in sugar before baking, they develop a crisp, caramelized exterior while remaining soft within. While Torcetti al Burro offer a delightful indulgence, they are high in saturated fats due to the generous use of butter and contain refined sugars and flour, making them calorie-dense and less nutrient-rich. Best enjoyed in moderation, these artisanal cookies provide a momentary indulgence rather than significant nutritional benefits, pairing perfectly with coffee or tea for an elegant snack or dessert. Though not particularly healthy, their simple, wholesome ingredients reflect the rich culinary traditions of Italian baking.
