They are hand picked between August and October and are then dried
naturally in the sun. Just open the bag and marvel at the amazingly
strong, heady aroma – this is the first sign of their
quality.Organic Truffle Oil 55ml: This white truffle oil is made
with extra virgin olive oil and flavoured with white truffles. It
has an incredible aroma and is wonderful when added to pasta,
drizzled on to meat or a pizza, it will give an amazing truffle
kick to your dishes.Truffle Butter 80g: Produced simply with butter
and bianchetto truffle from Aqualagna, this is a mouth-watering
artisanal speciality. Wonderful spread on bruschetta, stirred into
a bowl of pasta, tortellini or gnocchi, in a risotto or as a
condiment for grilled fish and meat dishes.Gourmet Herb Salt 200g:
A completely natural blend of Sicilian sea salt and Pink Himalayan
salt flavoured with a blend of herbs. Excellent for just sprinkling
on your salads, pasta dishes or vegetables to add flavour and
aroma. Great for cooking with, especially for seasoning and
flavouring roast, grilled and boiled meat. Brilliant for flavouring
sauces too!Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Liguria 500ml: This
excellent unfiltered cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is made
from olives cultivated in this beautiful area of the Italian
Riviera, Imperia, known as the olive oil capital of Italy. It comes
exclusively from the small, fragrant olives of the “Taggiasca”
variety which give a low acidity, golden yellow oil with a delicate
flavour.Organic Garlic and Black Pepper Infused Olive Oil 250ml:
Created by combining two Italian classics - organic Balsamic
vinegar from Modena together with organic, single estate
Ottobratica olives, this unique oil is beautifully balanced, tasty
and healthy. It is very low in acidity (just 0.2%) and
high in polyphenols (the antioxidants that are said to help prevent
cancer, arteriosclerosis and slow down the ageing process).Caputo
Extra Fine ‘00' Flour 1kg: Now you can make real Italian pizza at
home! Caputo flour is recognized as the world's best pizza flour
and is used by 80% of pizzerias in Naples! If you have
already tried making pizza at home and haven't had much success, we
think that switching to this flour will make all the difference!Fig
Balsamic Glaze 150ml: This fig balsamic cream glaze has been made
by the Giusti family in Modena by skillfully reducing aged balsamic
vinegar without the addition of any caramel or colouring. It has a
thick consistency, a fine velvety texture and an exquisite fig
flavour. Popular with chefs, balsamic glazes are easy and versatile
to use at home, giving a fabulous finishing touch to a range of
dishes.San Marzano Tomatoes PDO 400g: Said to be the best canned
tomatoes money can buy, San Marzano tomatoes are fantastic for
cooking as they have fewer seeds and firmer, meatier flesh. These
tomatoes cook down faster and retain a richer and sweeter flavour,
making them perfect for pasta and pizza sauces. The Italians love
them so much they conferred a "protected designation of origin"
(PDO) status, such as is also enjoyed by Stilton cheese and the
sparkling wines of the Champagne region.Sun Dried Tomatoes 250g:
Bring some Italian sunshine to your dishes with Vorrei's sun dried
tomatoes from Calabria. They can be used straight from the packet
or rehydrated. To rehydrate them place the tomatoes in a bowl and
cover with boiling water and leave until the tomatoes are plump and
juicy once more (reserve the liquid to add flavour to stocks and
sauces).Organic Capers in Sea Salt 250g: The Aeolian Island of
Salina, one and a half hours north of Sicily produces the finest
capers in the world. The capers grow naturally and are of course
organic, they are also a Slow Food product. Capers will add a
natural richness and depth of flavour to all your favourite sauces,
soups, salads, stews, rice and pasta dishes.Hot Calabrian Chilli
Powder 100g: If there is one thing that makes Calabrian food
Calabrian, it is spicy red peppers, and this chilli powder is
super-hot! While many varieties of hot pepper are grown in the
region, most are referred to as Calabrian peperoncino, and used in
regional dishes. Like all capsicum plants, Calabrian peppers
require hot weather to flourish and develop the oils that give them
their spiciness.Calabrian Wild Oregano 50g: Our dried oregano has
an intensive aromatic fragrance. It's wonderful for flavouring
tomato pasta sauces and for sprinkling on tomato
bruschetta.Liquorice Powder 80g: Naturally sweet and full of
flavour, this organic liquorice powder is a fantastic ingredient
for experimenting with in the kitchen. This powder is ground from
the organically grown liquorice root in Calabria. It gives an

desserts such as chocolate mousse, Tiramisu, ice cream and
semifreddo, in risottos, pasta dishes (or even to flavour fresh
pasta dough), and in a variety of meat and fish dishes.Amalfi Coast
Colatura di Alici 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.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

antipasto.Balsamic Vinegar from Modena (Aged 8 Years) 250ml: A rich
