Cuore Mio (My Heart) pasta is naturally enriched with Beta-glucan which is proven to be naturally effective in helping to reduce cholesterol, control blood sugar and manage weight, factors associated with heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It is already well known in the USA (a top 10 "superfood") and is fast gaining recognition in the UK.

The secret of Cuore Mio pasta lies in its special blend of quality durum wheat with the addition of barley flour, a unique combination which is easily digested, provides a full daily dose of Beta-glucan to young and old alike and is delicious too! It is produced by the Pastificio Atillio Mastromauro Granoro from premium quality durum wheat and barley flour grown in Puglia and Basilicata and tastes just as a quality pasta should taste - delicious!

Fusilli is a lovely pasta to use, very versatile and combines perfectly with many tomato and cream sauces, tuna, as a basis for a pasta salads. It is also great in a casserole or baked in the oven.

Don't miss out - limited pieces available.

One of the best value PDO (guaranteed protected origin) Extra Virgin Olive Oils you will find in the UK. The Terra di Bari - Castel del Monte PDO regulations require producers to use at least 80% of the local olive variety, the splendid Coratina, but allows 20% for other (cheaper) olives.

Granoro uses 100% Coratina right from the heart of the Castel del Monte PDO zone. The olives are grown totally naturally, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. It's amazing to witness the olives harvested by hand and immediately cold pressed using ancient millstones.

The oil is delicate and fruity with low acidity. It has a nice piquant aftertaste due to high levels of polyphenols and antioxidants present in the Coratina (good for the arteries and skin). It is green with yellow reflexes. A great all-rounder for salads, veg, fish and meats.

NB. EV olive oils at this price are usually a mix of different oils, often of unknown origin.

Wild Boar Bresaola is a true gourmet specialty and an outstanding addition to any meat platter. The leanest meat from the thigh is cured with aromatic Tuscan herbs and spices to produce an incredibly alluring aroma and taste.

Wild boar bresaola has many uses, notably on its own, sliced thinly with a drizzle of good olive oil and a splash of lemon or served with shavings of 30 month Parmesan. It also pairs magnificently with fruit - try it with pears, kiwi or avocado together with a soft cheese and walnuts.

Pieces will keep for a few weeks wrapped in foil in the fridge.

NB this is an artisan cured meat, made by hand and weights may vary slightly. Normal Price = £39.97/kg Discounted to £22.99/kg

From the stunning Caccia e Corte pasta sauce range, an exceptional ragu sauce based on original Tuscan recipes which uses the very best quality ingredients.

The veal is from the Chianina, famous for the wonderful Fiorentina steak and the Pork meat is from the Cinta Senese, renowned as the best in Italy. This thrilling combination os premium minced meats is prepared with chopped tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, red onions, carrots, white wine, celery and parsley to produce this outstanding, mouthwatering sauce. Ideal with tagliatelle or linguine and an absolute must with our 24 month PDO Parmesan cheese.

Testimony to the quality of this range, Caccia & Corte has just won a Double Gold Star (one of the top awards) at this year's Great Taste Awards, the "Oscars" of gourmet food in the UK.

Tip: Add 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to the sauce and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, then mix the pasta into it. Remember, Italians don't smother the pasta in sauce and that's why the quality of pasta is so important. The pasta should have a nice coating of sauce rather than swimming in it.

Slitti Chocolate Spoons have reached cult status in the world of chocolate. They were invented by Andrea Slitti in 1993 and have been imitated many times over the years. It is thanks to their original recipe (which still remains a closely guarded secret) and quality ingredients that makes them the original "true coffee spoons" par excellence.

This set of 3 spoons is made with gourmet quality pure chocolate (60% cocoa) and Piedmont hazelnuts from the Langhe region of Italy, which are full flavoured and blend perfectly with chocolate.

The spoons very slowly melt as you stir your coffee adding a wonderful essence to the coffee while gaining in flavour themselves. A gastronomic symbiosis of excellence! Of course the spoons make a great treat on their own too!

A wonderful, original gift for any occasion. Enjoy!

Also available in pure chocolate - sets of 3 and 6. Best with Slitti's own range of coffees which are available in this category

Buristo is the ancient, classic Tuscan black pudding from Siena. It is even mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as a prize given to Ulysses.

Our Buristo is prepared by 80 year old artisan expert, Signor Gelli at his workshop near the lovely Siena and San Gimignano area. Mr Gelli follows traditional recipes which include seasoning with citrus fruit, sultanas, pinenuts and Tuscan spices to produce a blood sausage which is soft, almost creamy, with a lovely aroma and delicate yet spicy flavour.

Buristo is getting harder to find even in Italy and is quite rare in the UK. Try it on panino, as part of a cured meat platter or as a side to boiled meat dishes, with a nice glass of Tuscan red.

Cadeau Magico. Elegant and sophisticated - a superb mini-panettone in a lovely designer gift box.

The Panettone itself is second to none. Extraordinarily light and moist with delicious fresh candied oranges from Sicily and sultanas that have bathed in aromatic Marsala and Zibibbo wines.

It is made by the Fiasconaro brothers in Sicily, for generations a family run artisan bakery. The 3 brothers who run the bakery now still rigorously uphold the local artisan traditions of their father and grandfather. This is slowfood at its best - each cake taking nearly 4 days to bake!

There are lots of Panettone now available in the UK and it's not always easy to know which to choose, but if you're looking for something truly special, then try one from the Fiasconaro range.

A magico lunch or dinner party idea!
