New Italian Gourmet Foods
As candy makers who still specialize in old-fashioned, traditional methods – such as hand dipping small batches of chocolate on marble tables – we appreciate other products who are made with a similar approach. Quality and flavour are essential.
The introduction of SNOB confetti almonds by the Confetti Crispo company of Italy has been met with such a positive response we have been on the lookout for other Italian made food items of this caliber. We are pleased to have some new gourmet food offerings that reach this level of quality.
We now carry a line of artisan pastas which are made with old-fashioned methods – slow extrusion through bronze dies and air drying to preserve both nutrients and taste. These traditional methods also permit the creation of some very interesting pasta shapes.
Pair one of these pastas with a pesto or pasta sauce. We have four different offerings which are all gluten free and GMO free. In this day and age of increased desire to get back to natural food choices these are features we are very pleased to offer.
Jams are sometimes filled with mainly sugar and very little fruit. Our new Gigi brand jams are 80% fruit. Choose from peach, strawberry or wild berry. We also have bomba – a spicy Italian spread. If you like it hot, try this. These options are also gluten free.
Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar round out our new gourmet foods from Italy options.
Need a hostess gift? Something for a bridal shower, wedding, anniversary, thank you, birthday, retirement… the list goes on and on. We have gift baskets made up incorporating some of these new products. Or you can customize your own in either gift basket or bag form.
