Crosta Mollica offers a range of Italian-style breadsticks and toasted bread bites that sit somewhere between a crisp and a proper snack. Rather than the thin, crispy potato-based format you might expect, these are proper baked goods with real texture and substance to them.
What is Crosta Mollica?
Crosta Mollica specialises in grissini, crostini and flatbreads that bring an Italian edge to your snacking routine. These aren't light, airy crisps. They're proper breadsticks and toasted bread with enough chew and crunch to keep you satisfied. The range includes everything from thin breadsticks to chunky seed-covered varieties, plus flavoured flatbreads and toasted bite-sized pieces.
If you're after something with more bite than standard crisps, Crosta Mollica fills that gap nicely. They work well as an afternoon snack, something to have with drinks, or even alongside soups and dips where their structure holds up better than crisps would.
Breadsticks and Grissini
The grissini and breadstick options form the backbone of the range. The Classic Grissini Breadsticks are straightforward and satisfying, with a proper crispy snap. If you prefer something thinner, the Thin Torinesi Breadsticks deliver that snappier texture without feeling insubstantial.
For more interesting flavour combinations, try the Black Olive Grissini Breadsticks for a savoury, slightly briny kick, or the Sesame and Seeds Grissini which pack a nuttier profile with actual texture from the seed coating. The Torinesi Parmesan and Poppy Seed Breadsticks combine that cheese flavour with a slight poppy seed crunch.
Crostini and Flatbreads
The crostini range offers smaller, bite-sized pieces that are great for snacking directly from the bag or pairing with dips. The Oregano Crostini Toasted Bread Bites have a Mediterranean herb quality that works particularly well if you're into that flavour profile. The Chilli Crostini Toasted Bread adds proper heat and works as a more interesting alternative to standard spicy crisps.
For something that sits between a breadstick and a cracker, the Rosemary Linguette Flatbreads offer a broader, flatter format. These have that herby rosemary edge and are substantial enough to handle with your fingers without breaking apart mid-chew.
Snacking Occasions
These products suit situations where standard single bags of crisps might not be ideal. They hold up well in a lunchbox, pair sensibly with cheese and crackers boards, and work better than delicate crisps when you want something with proper bite. The grissini range is particularly good if you enjoy dunking into dips or serving alongside meals rather than just grabbing a packet for solo snacking.
If you're looking to mix up your snack routine beyond what you might find in the standard UK favourite crisps section, Crosta Mollica offers proper texture variation. The breadsticks and toasted breads give you something with more substance and chew than typical crisps, which some people prefer when they want snacking that feels a bit more like eating actual food rather than air.
Every pack on our site costs one pound, making it easy to try different options and find your preferred format without much financial commitment. You can browse the full Crosta Mollica range above.
What are Crosta Mollica breadsticks made from?
Crosta Mollica makes breadsticks and grissini from baked dough rather than fried potatoes. The products vary across the range, with some featuring seeds, herbs or cheese depending on the specific variety. Check the packaging for exact ingredients and allergen information.
Are Crosta Mollica products similar to crisps?
They are similar in that they are shelf-stable snacks, but the texture and format are quite different. Breadsticks and crostini are baked bread-based products that are crunchier and have more chew than crisps. They offer an alternative if you want something with more substance.
Can I use Crosta Mollica breadsticks with dips?
Yes, absolutely. These breadsticks and flatbreads are sturdy enough to handle dips without breaking or falling apart like thinner crisps might. They work particularly well with hummus, cheese dips, or alongside antipasto platters.
