Soft Almond Amaretti in gift bag (100g) - Delicious artisan made soft amaretti cookies. They are wonderful with tea or coffee or for an after dinner treat with liqueurs. They look fabulous too! Each is individually wrapped and make a great impression served at dinner or as a gift for anyone!
Cannellini Beans from Puglia (360g) - Canellini Beans are the traditional cooking ingredient for Le Cassoulet in France but they are loved in Italy all the same. Excellent in hearty tomato-based winter sauces but equally at home in chunky pasta or a salad drizzled with olive oil and black pepper. In short a great item for the store cupboard.
Classic Almond Cantuccini with extra Almonds from Tuscany in Gift Box (100g) - Produced at the Belli family biscottificio (biscuit factory) following traditional recipes. Signore Belli's rule is: No skimping on ingredients!. There are plenty of shortcuts producers can take but you won't find any of them here. Absolutely delicious! Serve with coffee or Vin Santo.
Arrabbiata(Spicy) Sauce (370g) - quality Italian tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil from Puglia and Calabrian chillis are used to make this tasty and spicy Arrabbiata sauce. Perfect for serving with Penne pasta on its own or can be used as a base, e.g. add tuna or salami.
Penne Rigate Pasta (500g) - a classic and popular Italian pasta translated as grooved quills because of their diagonally cut ends. It binds and holds the sauces in its ridges. Perfect partner for the aforementioned Arrabbiata.
Organic Conchiglie Pasta (500g) - these organic pasta shells are made from high qulaity durum wheat from the Montebello organic farm in Umbria. They will also work well the Arrabbiata as the sauce fills the shells. The pasta is dried slowly at low temperatures to keep all its nutrients and goodness.

Pesto Genovese with Truffle (180g) - An amazing combination. Finest green pesto from Liguria combined with a delicious mild truffle flavour makes an original pasta sauce that will have everyone talking. It really is that good!
Balsamic Vinegar Condiment of Reggio Emilia (100ml) - Aged for a minimum of 6 years.

For sheer elegance and class, it is on a par with some of the most expensive traditional DOP balsamics at a fraction of the price. It combines perfectly with uncooked dishes, fruit, desserts, Parmesan cheese and ice cream. To be used in drops!
Pancetta from Tuscany (250g) - This is the real stuff! Tuscan pancetta is perfect for pasta dishes like Carbonara but adds a lovely flavour to 100s of sauces and fried dishes (soffriti). Just dice and fry. The pancetta is cured with spices (mainly black pepper) and the meat is from the Tuscan Cinta which is reknowned for its quality and aromatic sweetness.
Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP, Aged 30 Month (500g) - Produced by Caseficio Fior di Latte in the Parmigiano Reggiano DOP region this is a multi award-winning Parmesan cheese from the mountain area around Bologna and Modena. It is a mature Parmesan aged for a minimum 30 months in perfect conditions. This gives it a stronger character and harder, crunchier consistency and all the goodness common to all good Parmesans. Loved by adults and children alike, it can be grated onto stronger tasting sauces and is lovely in a salad, but try it on its own with an aged balsamic vinegar and a glass of fine wine.
Riccosa Chocolate Spread (200g) - Heaven in a jar! A rich and creamy gourmet chocolate spread made from Slitti's award winning milk chocolate and using real cocoa butter, not artificial flavourings as in other common spreads. Andrea Slitti, a renowned Italian chocolatier, has selected Italy's finest hazlenuts from the Langhe region in Piedmont, renowned for their sweetness and aroma, to bring a unique and delightful flavour guaranteed to bring a smile of sheer pleasure to anyone who tries it. Great as a topping on cakes and bread but incedible when gently heated and melted onto ice cream.
Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil - San Gimignano (250ml) - A delightful Tuscan extra virgin olive oil from a co-operative of small farms around San Gimignano in the heart of the Italian countryside. Produced from the frantoio, moraiolo and leccino olives, the IGT variety from Valdelsano is a lovely blend of smooth mellow flavours that combine both luxury and quality. This oil possesses a mild to strong aroma of grass and fruit with a classic peppery aftertaste. It is perfect for garnishing salads and vegetables.
Bucatini Pasta from Naples (500g) - Bucatini pasta is like thick, hollow spaghetti and is perfect for rich tomato or cream sauces also excellent with olive oil based sauces as well. Try it with spicy sausage or all'amatriciana. This is a high quality artisan pasta from Naples.
Truffle Honey - Acacia Honey with Bianchetto Truffles (100g) - The rich sweetness of Acacia honey and the wonderful, subtle earthy flavour of finest Umbrian Bianchetto truffles make a fabulous and original combination. The truffles are sliced directly into the honey. This is a classic condiment to pair especially with cheese - any cheese! Also wonderful to garnish roast meat dishes especially game and as an antipasto with cured meats.
Corbezzolo Honey from Sardinia -(250g) - This is one of the rarest and most sought-after honeys in the world and when you experience its unique taste, it's easy to understand why! Limited quantities are produced in the mountain regions of Sardinia in late Autumn when the rare Corbezzolo (Arbutus Unendo or Strawberry Tree) is in full bloom. It first evokes an exotic, creamy sweetness on the palate before unleashing its distinctive sparkling bitterness. Stunning with aged cheeses, pecorino or gorgonzola. Or use it to flavour dressings or marinades.

It needs little dressing up but comes packaged in its own beautiful gift box. One of the greatest culinary experiences is sharing a drop or two of gold Extravecchio Traditional Balsamic Vinegar after dinner. So if you do buy this as a gift make sure its for someone who loves you (or at least likes you a lot!) so you get to try a little.
Every vinegar is examined by a panel of experts and only 100 or so producers gain the official seal. Compagnia del Montale uses ancient family artisan methods with youthful passion in the production of this 'Extravecchio' or 'Extra Old' Balsamic Vinegar. It is aged for a minimum of 25 years passing through casks of different woods such as ash, oak and juniper. As per consortium regulations, the special 100ml bottle designed by Giugiaro must be used. The traditional balsamic vinegar is the epitome of superb taste and gourmet cuisine.
The Extravecchio Balsamic is wonderful with desserts, fruit and aged Parmesan cheese. Most Italians however would have a couple of drops as a digestive after a meal.
It contains no colourants, flavourings or preservatives - only 100% pure grape must.
Who Would You Buy it For?
Anyone who appreciates the finer things in life! This really will make a memorable and lasting gift. If you want to impress you can learn all about the world of Balsamic Vinegar here.
