Sfogliatelle [sfow-lee-ah-TELL-ee] is a popular puff-style pastry from the Campania region of southern Italy, surrounding Naples. Stacked layers, like very thin “leaves,” create a crisp, delicate texture that’s typically filled with some kind of sweet cream. On one visit to the region, we encountered Sfogliette [sfow-lee-EH-tee], a snack cracker with similar delicate attributes to its pastry relative, but with a savory profile. This led directly to the creation of Trader Joe’s Rosemary Sfogliette.
Our Italian supplier makes thin, hexagonal biscuits using wheat and rice flours, along with a combination of olive and sunflower oils. The crackers are seasoned with dried rosemary & sea salt and baked until they possess the ideal crunch. They’re thin and crisp, but not overly fragile. And they present the wonderful aroma and flavors of rosemary and olive oil.
As you could imagine, Rosemary Sfogliette make great snack crackers—with or without cheese. They’re also a formidable companion for your favorite bowl of soup!
