Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Rustic Wholesomeness: Unlike standard white crostini, these are crafted with 70% wholemeal wheat flour, giving them a “rich, wholesome flavour” and a darker, golden-brown hue. Handcrafted in Salento, they retain the natural bran and germ of the grain, resulting in a more complex, nutty profile.

Sustained Crunch: The use of natural yeast and olive oil creates a “hearty, crisp” structure. Because they are higher in fibre (7.8g per 100g), they are physically more robust than refined flour crackers, making them the superior choice for heavier toppings.

The Perfect Pâté Base: Their “rustic character” is the ideal match for rich, smooth textures. Use these as the vehicle for a coarse farmhouse pâté, chicken liver mousse, or even a smoked mackerel pâté. The graininess of the crostini balances the fattiness of the spread.

Hearty Soup Accompaniment: Serve these on the side of a thick Minestrone or a Lentil and Pancetta soup. They won’t disappear in the broth; instead, they provide a “satisfying crunch” that stands up to chunky, rustic stews.

Bold Cheese Pairing: These crostini are “ideal for cheeses” with strong personalities. Pair them with a mature Cheddar, a smoky Provolone, or a pungent Taleggio. The nutty wholemeal notes complement the earthy tones of aged dairy.

Healthy Mediterranean Snacking: For a light lunch, top with sliced avocado, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of Hyde Farm Salted Capers. The wholegrain base provides a slow release of energy and a satisfying bite.
