Fine Italian ingredients for chefs
Pomodorina sauce is prepared with the best fresh tomatoes processed at the height of the season and the varieties of vegetables used give the product a homemade taste.
Ready sauce excellent for pasta and rice dishes, but also ideal for crostini, pizzas, bruschettas, for sauces in main courses and stews and where a tomato sauce is required.
This italian tomato sauce excellent if combined with pesto which gives it a very fresh and summery taste.
Typical product of southern Italy, it stands apart from the rest thanks to its bright red colour which means the tomatoes have been dried in the southern sun and are brought back inside at nightfall to prevent the smokiness caused by dew and damp. As they are not dried in a drying house, they are softer on the palate and tastier. They can be used as a starter, or we can chop them up to use in pasta dishes, perhaps adding a drizzle of olive oil, basil, oregano, capers and a bit of tomato sauce. We can use them in panini or sandwiches, by adding mayonnaise or soft cheese and mixing in a mixer or food processor. A quick, fancy idea for your aperitifs. Take a small mozzarella, wrap it in a sun-dried tomato, and fasten with a toothpick. Dress with a drizzle of extra virgin oil and a light sprinkling of oregano.
The porcini mushrooms are processed when dried to highlight their flavour and fragrance.
Ideal sauce for egg pasta, preferably long (tagliatelle) or risottos.

Cream with a thousand uses with a pleasant, lingering truffle aroma. Can be used both hot and cold for tarts, bruschettas, sandwiches, pizzas, etc. Can be mixed with soft cheeses or mayonnaise to fill choux pastry balls, cannolini, vol-au-vents etc. If lengthened with cream or melted cheese or a drop of milk, ideal for pasta dishes using egg or semolina pasta and rice. Excellent dressing for potato gnocchi or truffle lasagne: make 5 layers with strips of egg pasta, béchamel and diluted truffle cream, cubes of ham and slices of fontina. When you have made the 5 layers, put it in the oven to bake for around 30 minutes at 180°C. Can be used as a sauce on cutlets, fillets, to add flavour to mixed minced meat in order to make aromatic meatballs or fillings for roast meat, or to spread on meat to create stuffed roasts. It is a very versatile sauce that tickles the imagination, so you’ll try it in lots of different ways. A sauce with a delicate mix of fragrances and flavours, exclusive to our company, at a very competitive price.
Cream for many uses. Excellent with salami and fresh tomatoes. Can be used as it is, or by diluting with mayonnaise. For a tasty morsel, use as a stuffing for cherry tomatoes after hollowing them out. Can also be used for sandwiches, pizzas, bruschettas, tarts, but also as a sauce for pasta dishes using semolina pasta. By mixing with flour and eggs, we can also create marble-effect pastries that can be topped with butter, spicy salami, dried tomatoes, cream and parsley.

Small, top quality artichokes, left whole or cut in two. Stripped of the hard leaves and sautéed with oil, garlic, parsley and a splash of vinegar. The whole artichokes are mainly recommended for use as a starter or side dish, and the split artichokes for pizzas, panini, sandwiches and tarts. If you want to savour them a different way, drain off the oil, dip in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Fry in a generous amount of hot oil and you get a tasty morsel for a starter or aperitif.
