A great chance to get hold of a gourmet cured meat at a great price. Don't miss out - limited pieces available.
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.
NB this is an artisan cured meat produced by hand and weights may vary slightly. Only £10.69/kg Discounted price = only £4.99/kg

A great chance to get hold of a quality flavoured oil at a great price. Don't miss out - very few pieces remaining.
This extravirgin olive oil flavoured with marjoram is part of a selection of quality flavoured oils from Umbria. They all have there own distinct character and uses, but they all start from the same basic ingredient: a premium quality extravrigin olive oil from a small local frantoio (olive mill) in Umbria.
The Marjoram is left to rest in the oil and infuses all its natural flavour and aroma. You can see it in the bottle!
Marjoram in olive oil gives such a lovely flavour, once you've tried it you'll be searching for other recipes which feature it. Its delicate floral and balsam tones complement perfectly the natural olive fruit and this flavoured oil goes particularly well as a dressing for all seafood, poultry and lamb. Drizzle it onto soups, vegetables and young cheeses. Great with North African cuisine as well.
Other oils in the range include chilli, sage, rosemary, oregano, lemon and basil.

The Mediterranean diet just got better!

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.
A 100g serving provides 3g of Beta-glucan, 100% of our RDA. It is also particularly rich in fibre, contributing over 8g, more than double that of conventional pasta. Don't miss our super promotional offer on this item - a great chance to try it out!
