Colussi Il Gran Turchese biscuit

Il Gran Turchese is an iconic Italian shortbread biscuit recognizable by its unique perforated design and blue packaging. It was originally created by the Colussi family, a historic name in the Italian bakery industry since the eighteenth century. The product is deeply rooted in Italian breakfast culture and is celebrated for its ability to absorb milk without breaking instantly.

Today, the brand remains under the umbrella of the Colussi Group (Colussi S.p.A.), an Italian multinational food company. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Italy, particularly at the Petrignano di Assisi plant. The company has maintained its independent Italian ownership, continuing to produce a wide range of bakery products, pasta, and healthy snacks under various historic brands.
