It’s hard to miss Le Lingue Piemontesi flatbread: the box it comes in is about three feet long. But do find a way to fit it into your grocery basket. Imported from Italy, this flatbread is made only with wheat flour, yeast, and olive oil. It’s perfectly crunchy, golden and bubbly on top, and expertly salted. Each long, paddle-shaped cracker makes for addictive snacking, either plain or topped with, say, thinly sliced Parma prosciutto or, for a cross-cultural experience, cubes of tomme de savoie. Unsurprisingly, the box doesn’t fit in the cupboard, so leave ’em out on the counter — they’ll be gone in a few hours anyway. Worth the stunning $8.95 price tag. Viva Italia!
