Picos (pee-kos) capture the essence of the tapas experience. In Andalucia, the home of tapas, these great crunchy bread sticks are on the counter of every tapas bar, without exception -- sort of like peanuts, but a healthier snack. Now that people are enjoying the concept of tapas throughout Spain, you will find picos everywhere.
We have found the best: baked with a touch of extra virgin olive oil, these crunchy bread sticks are in the shape of mini baguettes!
Don't forget, you don't have to be at a café to enjoy these great nibbling treats. Just pour a few of these tiny crunchy bread sticks in a bowl. They are a very healthy snack -- and kids love them.
