Zaletti

The name zaletti is dialect, derived from the word giallo or “yellow.” It comes from the use of yellow cornmeal in the cookie dough. According to Emilio Baldi, who operates Enoteca Vino Vino in Venice, all of the best Venetian cookies are dry and profit from being dipped in a glass of dessert wine such as Torcolato or Malvasia, or a glass of warm zabaglione.
