Italian term or phrase: friselle al tonno
This is from an Italian olive oil guide. Description of an olive oil followed by examples of dishes that the oil will accompany/enhance etc. The full sentence reads:- "Ideale sulle friselle al tonno con cipolle di Tropea o per impreziosire una zuppa di legumi".

"Friselle" is the term I am seeking - is it a sort of bread or crispbread?
