ITALIAN PANTRY
The Essentials for Italian Cooking
No Italian dish is complete without a drizzle of olive oil, this is a key ingredient to enhance all the flavors and create an authentic Italian recipe. Whether you want to enjoy it on a slice of toasted bread, as a raw condiment or as a fat for cooking meat or fish, choosing a high-quality extra virgin olive oil is very important. Our selection of olive oil comes from two Italian regions that boast centuries-old olive trees: Sicily and Umbria.
Condiments for a truly Italian pasta
Pasta with tomato sauce is a staple dish and a comfort food for many Italian families. Our organic tomato sauce comes from the Chiaramonte company, from Sicily, the land of fresh and juicy tomatoes. The Italian touch comes from the use of specific tomato varieties: datterini and ciliegini. Datterino means small date because of the similarity to the fruit, they are a sweet variety with few seeds and lots of pulp. Cherry tomatoes are small and highly prized for their juiciness and thin skin, which makes the tomatoes pop in the mouth when eaten.
