Tarallini glassato tipico di Castellammare di Stabia
The glazed Tarallini are small doughnuts in the shape of a braided ring. With intense aromatic scents and a delicately crumbly texture. They are made using sourdough, which gives them an irresistibly crunchy surface without making them too hard. They are one of the oldest recipes of the Stabia tradition.

The glazed Tarallini from Castellammare di Stabia are mentioned in a novel by Erri De Luca called "Montedidio".
In the book, the main character Nunzio nostalgically recalls the glazed Tarallini as one of his favorite sweets during childhood. He describes them as small circles of leavened dough, golden in color and crunchy to the bite, covered with a white and sweet glaze.
