Mario Fongo

is an artisan Piedmontese bakery from Rocchetta Tanaro (Asti), active since 1945, renowned for its hand-stretched breadsticks and its historic Lingue di Suocera® (“mother-in-law’s tongues”). A simple dough — flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, salt and yeast, no preservatives — still worked today with the artisan gestures passed down through three generations of the Fongo family.

Description

The LMC selection of Mario Fongo

We chose this historic Piedmontese bakery for its loyalty to a method that has never given in to industrial shortcuts: since 1945,

in Rocchetta Tanaro, every breadstick begins with a naturally leavened dough and is hand-stretched, one by one,

with the same gesture passed down through three generations of the Fongo family.

The ingredient list stays short —

flour, water, unfiltered Italian extra virgin olive oil, salt, yeast —

and the flour blends are selected together with trusted millers to ensure optimal leavening without the dough losing elasticity.
