Shaped like taralli, roccoco are deliciously crisp and chewy biscuits originating in Campania. Traditionally eaten at Christmas, roccoco are flavoured with candied citrus peel, almonds, and ‘pisto’, a Neapolitan spice mix usually consisting of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, star anise, and white pepper, although this can vary from place to place. Store in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
