We offer Italian artisan food and wine of the highest quality. Our products are organic, ethically sourced, and produced using environmentally sound practices. You’ll find no artificial colours or flavourings, E-numbers or other nasty stuff in our products. And you’ll know that you are helping to sustain the authentic, local businesses and production methods that have survived for generations with our small suppliers in Italy, rather than putting your pennies in the pockets of the supermarket giants.
We provide a wide range of exclusive gifts, vouchers and luxury hampers that are ideal as presents. We also specialise in corporate gifts and hampers for any occasion.
We have tried to make it a little easier to buy some of the basic elements of our range, the stuff that we think you will use a lot and buy time and time again, by introducing taster boxes in three sizes.
We offer a selection of fine red wines, mainly from Northern Italy, and in particular from Piedmont, which many experts feel is the best region for great reds including Barolo.
We've tried to steer away from some of the well known Italian whites that saturate the UK market with average quality wines, and instead offer some exciting, lesser known varieties, including a super trendy kid-on-the-block called Roero Arneis.
Italy is not well known for good sparkling wines (think Asti Spumanti), and has remained the poor neighbour of France for many years, but actually there are some wonderful sparkling Italian wines if you just know where to look.
Our organic pasta is produced by a 'co-operativo' working in the heart of a WWF nature reserve called Oglio Sud in the Po valley of Northern Italy, using only organic and ethically sound methods.
All of our sauces are made in Italy by small producers using fresh ingredients and using no artificial colours or preservatives. We're sure that you will really taste the difference between these and the ones you'll find in your local supermarket.
All of our oils are extra virgin and come from small producers working to traditional methods of production.
We offer authentic, and consistently good balsamic vinegars from a small producer based near Modena, called Bellei.
Our antipasti and vegetables are from a very highly reputed producer in Piedmont, using only the best and freshest vegetables.
The Italians produce some wonderful preserves and jarred fruits by combining the best, locally grown fruits with other great Italian ingredients.
The Italians are well known for their love of biscuits, particularly with coffee, and as with the rest of Italian food, tastes are strictly regional. Amaretti biscuits, from Piedmont, are made with almonds and wonderful either with coffee or Moscato.
