This handlebar shape is said to have been chosen in honour of the extravagantly moustachioed Victor Emanuel II, the first king of united Italy. The other reason, thankfully, are the delicious krumiri biscuits which were invented here (there's a whole legend connected to this, and an anthem, and lots more! In the Twenties, Angelo Ariotti took over Domenico Rossi’s business and, with it, the recipe and the Krumiro patent, so the biscuit could continue its grand tradition through history, the same as it always was.

The sensations complement one another, and once you taste them together, you’ll realise it’s a pleasure that you will want to try again and again.

The strips of dough are cut by hand into small portions with a special cutter and each one is bent by hand into the traditional moustache shape, just like Victor Emanuel II’s moustache. These italian Biscuits are for breakfast and for any time of the day, so good that you want to eat One More. Krumiri are a kind of biscuit which is regarded as the particular delicacy of Casale Monferrato, the city in north-west Italy where they were invented in 1878 by the confectioner Domenico Rossi.

Whether they’re sweet and bubbly or robust and fortified, the important thing is that they are noble wines. Our Piemonte travel articles will take you from Lake Maggiore to Alba, Asti, Bra and Barolo before continuing to Turin and then east along the Po Valley. Krumiri are divine on their own but are also wonderful with other delicacies, with two provisos: the accompaniment must bring out the Krumiri’s flavour without overpowering them, and it must be something special in its own right.

Fun fact: According to various legends, the shape of Krumiri is inspired by the sovereign Vittorio Emanuele II and his famous ‘handlebar’ mustache. Today, the family-run company continues to create their traditional beloved treats following the same recipes.

Their flavours are quite different, but both are the fruit of old traditions from two distant places. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. All gourmets have their weaknesses and their favourite flavours, so it’s easy to match Krumiri with your liqueur of choice, creating a flavour you’ve never experienced before. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.
