'Mediterranean Diet Experience' Italian Gift Hamper Inc.
Tinned Tomatoes, Pasta, Olive Oil & Antipasti
Brand: Vorrei Italian Hampers
Did you know that Italians live longer than any other
nationality? One of the reasons has to be their diet. In Italy
meals are generally cooked from scratch with simple natural
products grown or produced locally. We love this philosophy and
have created this hamper to bring you the very best ingredients
used daily as part of this rich and healthy diet. What's inside:
Organic Senatore Cappelli Penne Pasta 500g: This pasta is made
using a very special durum wheat semolina - 'Senatore Cappelli' -
grown organically in the hills of the Marche, Puglia and Basilicata
regions. Senatore Cappelli is an ancient type of grain with a high
protein, vitamin and mineral content and has an intense flavour and
aroma. It is also much more easily digestible than ordinary
pasta.Organic Tomato and Vegetable Pasta Sauce 200g: Alce Nero
ready to use tomato and vegetable sauce is made with organic
vegetables from Italy and with plump tomatoes from the Po Delta in
the provinces of Ferrara and Ravenna. The tomatoes are harvested at
just the right level of ripeness and processed within eight hours
on average in order to preserve all the flavour, aroma, and
nutrients.Organic Paolo Petrilli Tomatoes 314g: These super-sweet
organic peeled tomatoes are said to be the finest San Marzano
tomatoes in the world! Organically grown in Puglia (just outside
the PDO region) Paolo Petrilli tomatoes are the choice of top chefs
around the world, served in Italy's finest restaurants and in
London's River Cafe'. The crop comes from a limited production of 5
hectares of tomatoes a year to ensure the best possible, top
quality product.Cenzino Organic Olive Oil 500ml: Giovanni
Marvulli's 'Cenzino' extra virgin olive oil from Matera, Basilicata
is both healthy and full of flavour averaging almost three times
the polyphenols of typical extra virgin olive oils. A certified
organic oil, fruity with a distinct almond after taste and an
elegant aroma, wonderful on salads, cooked vegetables, fish and
seafood or simply drizzled on your crusty bread or
bruschetta.Wholegrain Black Venus Rice 500g: This medium whole
grain, aromatic, black rice is a delicate alternative to white
rice. It has a mild nutty flavour and is ideal for preparing
risottos (with cheese, fish and shellfish) as well as rice salads
and side dishes.Amalfi Coast Anchovy Fillets 80g: Fresh anchovies
are an oily fish that look and taste similar to sardines. Our
fillets of Cetara anchovies from the Delfino Battista family on the
Amalfi coast are preserved in sunflower oil and are a healthy
ingredient for any dish. Use them in numerous sauces, salads, in
pasta or to create a delicious antipasto.Amalfi Coast Traditional
Anchovy Sauce 100ml: Our colatura di alici from Cetara is an
aromatic and fragrant amber liquid that is easy to digest, is rich
in vitamin A and enhances any dish. It can be seasoned with fresh
herbs such as parsley, garlic, paprika and some lemon zest and
added to extra virgin olive oil to create a wonderful sauce for
spaghetti or linguine. Or just simply drizzle over bruschetta or
grilled vegetables. A little goes a long, long way.Sicilian
Shredded Aubergines 314ml: These slightly spicy crunchy Sicilian
aubergines have a bold flavour making them ideal for an aperitivo
or a snack in their own right.Sun Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil
(314ml) Bring some Italian sunshine to your dishes with Vorrei's
sun dried tomatoes from Sicily. They can be used eaten from the jar
as part of an antipasti spread or added to pasta dishes to give a
burst of Mediterranean flavour.Borlotti Beans 300g: The hearty and
nutritious Borlotti bean is widely used in Italian cooking. The
beans are large and plump and when raw, ivory in colour with
reddish-brown streaks. They take on a darker colour when cooked and
the interior becomes floury. Borlotti beans are free from
cholesterol and particularly rich in protein. They are perfect in
soups, stews, pasta dishes and risottos.Organic Cannellini 300g:
Cannellini beans are a staple of central and southern Italian
cooking and are particularly popular in Tuscany. When cooked they
become creamy and fluffy and are perfect in pasta dishes (pasta e
fagioli), soups (minestrone), purees, broths, salads and dips. This
type of bean is an excellent inexpensive source of protein which is
also high in fibre, low in fat and free from cholesterol.Organic
Pesto Sauce 180g: Our delicious organic pesto is made simply in
Liguria with just healthy, natural ingredients - organically grown
basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil and pine kernels. Suitable for
vegans, this pesto is wonderful on pasta, great for adding to
gnocchi or just for spreading on a bruschetta or in a
sandwich.String of Large Dried Chilli Peppers 50g: Fiery red in
colour and taste, this 50cm string of large Calabrian
'pepperoncini' have dried on the vine in the Mediterranean sunshine
to give a more potent heat and fruitier taste. Calabria is one of
Europe's main producers and consumers of peperoncino which is
considered 'medium hot' on the Scoville Scale which measures the
heat of chillies worldwide.Chocolate Fig Bites 200g: These soft,
sweet and chewy Calabrian figs are complemented by a thick layer of
delicious dark chocolate - it's impossible to eat just one!Citron
Marmalade 200g: The cedro or citron is a lovely, fragrant citrus
fruit - its flavour when perfectly ripe can fill a room. They look
like huge, lumpy lemons; they are coloured a vibrant yellow and the
skin is thick and fleshy. They are prized largely for the rind,
which makes up about 70% of the fruit and is sweet,
tender and only very slightly bitter. Made in sunny Calabria where
the cedro has been grown since ancient times, this marmalade is
bitter sweet giving a sudden kick in the middle of the sweetness.
Perfect on buttered toast!Chianti San Vito DOCG Organic Red Wine
750cl: This is an organic Chianti produced from 100%
Sangiovese grapes by the Tenuta San Vito Estate, in the beautiful
rolling hills that surround Florence. This prestigious and popular
Tuscan wine is a dark ruby red with an appealing fresh fruity
bouquet. Full-bodied, round and harmonious in the mouth, matured in
the bottle to harmonise and develop. Alcohol: 13% We
