The perfect pasta matched with the perfect pasta sauce! Our imported pasta is bronze cut, so what does this mean? It refers to how the pasta is made. Today most pastas are created using a Teflon system, which makes the pasta slippery and the sauce will come right off. Pastas that are created using the old world bronze cut technique have a much rougher surface area, which allows the sauce to stick to it and makes every bite packed with flavor!

  "The olive oil flavor comes through beautifully, but it's not at all a savory ice cream that leaves you feeling confused. It's 100% dessert. Olive Oil is also a super healthy fat that is extremely heart healthy, so you can feel (kinda) guilt-free while enjoying a bowl-full of this goodness. I mean, it's basically a salad.

Fall is officially here, which means all the delicious, hearty flavors we love about this season can finally be brought back into our kitchens.

A group of fishermen, just in from the morning’s catch, sit on the terrace, eating their midday meal with one hand and trading stories with the other.
