Review of Black Olive Paste (Pasta Olive Nere)

This is incredibly delicious and a break from tomato or cream based sauces. It's great on pasta, gnocchi, even vegetables or bread. I'm not much of a cook but all you need to do is heat something and put this on top and it tastes incredible. Very fresh tasting too, like it was just made. I'll order from this company again.

Product Description:
Paul searched for two years to find the right producer to craft a preservative-and-additive-free collection of spreads and pestos bearing the A.G. Ferrari Foods name. His search ended in the vegetable gardens of a small producer in the herb-scented Ligurian hills above Genova.


This all-natural sauce from coastal Liguria is a finely minced blend of green olives, olive oil and fresh herbs. Use this olive spread for crostini or fresh cheeses, as a sauce for pasta or as a sandwich condiment.


Pasta di Olive Nere is one of seven new sauces made in Liguria, exclusively for A.G. Ferrari Foods.

This is one of the best mozzarella cheese, if not the very best.

Review of La Piana 20 Years Aged Balsamic Vinegar, 8.4 Fl Oz

I purchased this La Piana Balsamic Vinegar for a fabulous French foodie-friend with a fiendish obsession for balsamic vinegar.Now, I should tell you that, having grown up in Provence, my friend has impeccable taste and an extremely refined palette.Since I have never tasted this brand of balsamic vinegar, I was a little nervous to order it.

No worries.

My friend is crazy about La Piana.She tells me she is using it on everything - even ice cream.She has declared this the best vinegar she has ever tasted.

Note, The Balsamic Vinegar Cookbook by Meesha Halm is a great cookbook that offers tons of recipes.I purchased this for my friend as well and she raves about it.Here's a link:

Review of Goccia Black Truffle Oil from Italy

I'm flabbergasted by the glowing reviews that "truffle oil" is receiving on Amazon! Those of you espousing a desire to drizzle this stuff on your food might be sorely disappointed to learn that the truffle flavor in those tiny $17 bottles of "truffle oil" are made in a laboratory. There's not a molecule of actual truffle in them. It's a sinful shame that's perpetuated despite being outed a few years ago in an enlightening New York Times article called "Hocus-Pocus, and a Beaker of Truffles." Read it and weep: [...]

And if you see "truffle oil" advertised on the menu somewhere, you might ask if they're using any other artificial flavorings in their dishes...

Review of Agrumato Extra Virgin Olive Oil Pressed with Lemons 16.9 Fl. Oz.

This olive oil is the greatest addition to my kitchen.I use it for that spark of lemon flavor when cooking seafood or chicken.It is fabulous on salads also.Any recipe that calls for citrus and oil...its in there.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Agrumato Extra Virgin Olive Oil Pressed with Lemons 16.9 Fl. Oz.

Product Description:
Agrumato oils stem from an ancient culinary tradition of Abruzzo, on the Adriatic sea. Farmers for centuries have crushed small quantities of olives with lemons for use in their own homes. All the olives are harvested by hand and the citrus picked at a perfect ripeness. The olives and fruit are crushed using a tradition stone mill. This crushing produces a paste which is pressed with low pressure and the juice centrifuged to release the water from the oil. Only the oil from this first pressing is used, as it is the most intense and flavorful. This rare olive oil is golden green in color with a wonderful citrus aroma.

Review of Masserie di Sant'Eramo Flavorful Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Italy)

I spent an hour one day tasting a variety of expensive olive oils at the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto and came home with something very pricy that tasted like car grease.The following day in exasperation I just hauled something off the shelf at our local supermarket and it turned out to be fantastic.Masserie di Sant'Eramo (the "flavourful" kind, not the "delicate" version) always gets compliments and it's very difficult to find; no other supermarket in Toronto or where we live now on the west coast has it, at least to my knowledge.I was delighted to find that it's available through Amazon since I had given up hope of finding it anywhere other than at Loblaws in Toronto.Strongly recommended!
