Product Description:
The tiny medieval town Campofilone (1,800 residents) is considered the birthplace of egg pasta in Italy. An ancient fort town in the province of Ascoli, it is home to the Abbey of San Bartolomeo, which first reported the existence of maccheroncini in the 15th century. Long considered a noble dish, Campofilones favorite local dish is now celebrated in a famous local feast - a Sagra dei Maccheroncini - each August.


Vincenzo Spinosi is rapidly gaining acclaim as the worlds Prince of Pasta and is carrying on a family tradition that began in 1933. He uses locally raised fresh whole eggs and carefully selected durum wheat semolina. From his humble roots in his familys pastificio, Vincenzo has become something of a celebrity in international culinary circles and his pasta is now served in fine restaurants around the world, including several in the Far East and Asia. His egg pasta has been praised as the best available and closest to fresh, homemade egg pasta by a bevy of food reviewers, writers and chefs, including our own Michelin star chef Gianluca Guglielmi and Nigella Lawson. In 2000, he was rewarded with the International Five Star Diamond Award by the American Academy of Hospitality and Sciences. Previous recipients of this award were Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher.

Vincenzo recommends pairing his super-fine, thin pasta with tomato-based, oil-based or seafood sauces

Review of Lazzaroni Amaretti di Saronno Cookies Cube Tin 16 oz.

My first encounter with these darling little treats was while watching Everyday Italian on the Food Network starring Giada De Laurentiis, my favorite chef of the past few years. She crumbled them into deserts, coffees, made pumpkin ravioli with it, baked amaretti apples and always praised their magical taste. Upon finally purchasing a box myself I was blown away by the hypnotic and addictive taste of marzipan in these little gems.

Amaretti Cookies are packed as a pair, wrapped in wax paper with Italian writing and insignias, praising its originality. They are two small crackling cookies per wrapper and they are a crunchy shell of delight. The taste is strangely addictive, after having a few I couldn't stop thinking about them! I have even purchased three more boxes two days after getting the first one. They taste like the holidays, spicy and lusciously laden with almonds and crispy sugary goodness with a tiny tang of bitterness of the almond. They flavor is royal and time stopping, on busy days, one bite of this cookie and I am transfixed into magical fields of luxurious old world taste that has been popular to Italians for years.

Incredibly aromatic crispy almond cookies that are a luscious addiction to coffee, tea or wine and are great for cooking and baking with. They really grew on me, I think I am an addict to their taste now, no wonder Giada is so smitten with them!

I have been looking for Cipriani Pasta locally and Williams Sonoma does not carry it anymore.This pasta tastes like fresh pasta and is wonderful with white truffle butter and chives.Enjoy!

Product Description:
Cipriani has always made their own pasta and the experience they have gained over the years, has taught them that in egg pasta, there are three important elements. The flour must be made from durum wheat, the best grade eggs must be used and the pasta must be worked with care, rolled over and over again, never so much as to overheat it, but enough to give it that special quality. If all these precepts are followed, the pasta will have the essential characteristics of being both firm and soft. Two attributes that would seem to be in opposition, but which real pasta lovers recognize perfectly. If pasta of this class is then dried slowly at a low temperature, the resulting product will be unique.Serves 5 and cooks in 4 minutes.

Review of Balsamic vinegar Nr 12 "Riserva", 8.5 fl oz

This is the best. Very mellow and full bodied. It's outstanding with good quality extra virgin olive oil for a dipping for bread. It's also good drizzled on roasted baby potatoes. A little goes a long way. Keep your finger over the top when you drizzle, so you don't accidentally pour too much out.
