Baicoli gained their name because their shape resembled that of sea bass,[3] which in the local dialect is called baicoli.[4]
The biscuits have a long shelf life and were used as a ship's biscuit for long sea voyages.[3] Their preparation, which is long and laborious, has two acts of leavening and double baking.
Today, baicoli are commonly served with coffee and zabaglione,[2] in which they could be dipped.[3]
