You can choose to either make your own grissini, or purchase a pre prepared one from the grocer. Feel free to hit us up for a free grisini recipe, just email us your request and we will get it through to you.
Jamon Grissini with Truffle Mayo is a basic recipe if you cannot get your hands on truffle paste. You can use something else, such as chipolte pepper paste, citrus, or any number of alternatives. In our recipe we take you through the process of making the mayonnaise. Though again if you are not comfortable, a store bought option can work too.

Let’s Make a Difference
Every day we have the opportunity to make hundreds of choices. We are so fortunate to live in a time where information is so easily accessible and we have the opportunity and freedom to make choices that we feel are the best for us and our families.
I encourage you to continue educating yourself and others about the benefits of living a plant-based lifestyle. Cook a plant-based meal, opt-out of products like leather, watch a documentary with a family member or friend. It’s easy to feel like the choices we make are small, but when we make these choices together, we can make a big difference!
