cheese-dairy-accompaniments-breadsticks

One of the commonest accompaniments to cheese, ham and charcuterie in many Spanish bars and restaurants is the simple breadstick, often made using olive oil. The shape may vary, but they all provide a textural contrast to the meats or cheeses. These little pointed breadsticks are crisp and crunchy.

Picos de pan are a very common accompaniment to cheese, ham and charcuterie in Spain. They can also complement soups and salads, adding a crunchy, flavourful element to various dishes. These little breadsticks are double-fermented allowing the dough to develop a deep, complex flavour profile and an airy texture for a perfect bite. The olive oil comes from Andalucía, a region renowned for producing some of the finest olive oils in the world. This oil infuses the picos with a fruity richness that complements their tangy flavour, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of southern Spain.
