Aosta Valley | Tegole

Italy's smallest region still packs a punch when it comes to dining, with cuisine influenced by its French and Swiss neighbours. 'Tegole' biscuits are named after roof tiles due to their thin, round shape, and are flavoured with hazelnuts. Best enjoyed with a cup of the local coffee, which is flavoured with sugar, lemon, and a generous dash of brandy or grappa.
