This is Valledoro's take on the German-inspired pretzel stick. They are thin, crunchy, stick-shaped pretzels (like a slender pretzel rod), not the classic knot shape. As a traditional bakery brand, Valledoro's version likely has a distinctive pretzel flavor achieved through a lye or baking soda bath before baking, giving them a deep brown color, a glossy finish, and that unique savory, slightly alkaline taste. They are seasoned with coarse salt.
